Rhemst's Anti-Boredom guide

There's nothing worse than being bored. Like when there's nothing good on TV or when you're sitting in class and you feel like yo have to punch yourself in the ear just to stay awake. Or when mum's been yelling at you for so long all you hear is "blah blah be blah blah."
In my family, things rarely calm dong long enough to be boring. But other people are not so "lucky."For them, I have come up with a few suggestions to help cope with those moments of extreme boredom!

HOW TO AVOID BEING BORED IN ENGLISH CLASS

-Pretend to mishear things. Like when the teacher is talking about Prince Edward The Great, say, "shakes bear, who shakes bear?"

-Make up limericks about the people you know. Here's one from the other day:
There once was a boy named Sean,
Who had a big ugly horn.
He would roll in the mud
To deliver a thud,
and his hair was full of my lawn.

-Pass notes that include literary quotations . That way, if you're caught , you can claim it was part of the assignment.

-Answer all of your teacher's questions in Spanish or French. Just to see if she/he notices.

HOW TO TURN YOUR HOMEWORK INTO A ENDLESS AMUSEMENT

If you do an hour of homework a day for everyday you're in school, by the time you graduate, you've wasted ninety days of your life. That's three whole months your teachers have stolen from you. Here are some suggestions on how to make that time your own.

-Bring on the nose. Listening to music while you work might just keep you awake long enough to finish. And if it's loud enough, your mum might not want to encourage more studying.

-Do your homework on the phone with a friend. Misery loves company.

-Do your science experiments in the kitchen and see if your family accidentally mistakes them for dinner.

-Get your brother/sisters to help. When i study for vocabulary quizzes, I make flash cards. When i learn a word, i let my dog eat the card. That way, everyone's happy.

-Ask your parents for help. They pretend math's important, but they don't remember it, either. See if you can get them frustrated enough to admit they have never used the magic of trigonometry in their everyday lives.

OTHER WAYS TO SURVIVE A BORING CLASS

-Darts, they're always pretty fun.
-Rockets, walkie talkies. I can name them all.
But i won't :P

HOW TO SURVIVE A BORING TEACHER

Teachers know a lot of things, but they're never able to explain why you should care. It may feel like you have to stab a pencil in your thigh to stay awake in class, but here are some things you should try first.

-Doodle, i prefer doodling with a pencil, but some people can be creative and use ear wax or w/e.

-Play Classroom Bingo. Fill th squares with the words the teacher always uses, each time. She uses a phrase put an X through it. First one with three in a row wins.

-Track the teacher's clothing choices. Does she really only have one outfit or do they all just look the same.

-Pretend your on a TV show. Whenever the teacher cracks a lame joke, convince the whole class to laugh uproariously.

THINGS TO DO DURING BORING TV COMMERCIALS

Some commercials are better than the shows, Like the ones with the snowboarders or talking dogs. But the other commercials give television a bad name. My brothers and I have come up with a few ways to get through the slow spots without ever leaving the couch.

-Argue with the commercial. For every phrase they use, say the opposite. If something's "new and improved," say "old and just as bad." If a movie is "a triumph of the human spirit," say it's "a failure of the canine bladder."

-Channel surf competitively. Start clicking through the channels and see how close you can get to coming back to the original channel before the commercial is over. Whoever gets the closest without going over wins.

-Now for a family favorite. Ad guessing is one way of a competition, and it passes the time.

-Overdubbing. When a stupid commercial comes on, put the TV on mute and make up your own words. For example, take a men's hair-care ad: "yeah, i used to be bald, but then i trained a small, furry rodent to sleep on my head. Now, I'm a babe magnet....If i could only get rid of that smell.

-Do the soda jerk. Every time a soda commercial comes on, see how many times you can burp before the commercial's over.

-Argue over who gets the remote control. This adds a physical element to your television watching.

THINGS TO DO ON A SATURDAY NIGHT BESIDES STAYING HOME AND WATCHING TV

For some reason, people think Saturday night is the time to go out and have fun. Don't they know Cops is on? But if you decide you don't want to stay home and watch TV, here are some other things to do on a Saturday night.

-Go over to a friends house to watch TV

-Go to a restaurant or pizza place that has a TV.

-Get a long extension cord and sneak the TV into your backyard. (don't try this in the rain. Trust me on this one)

-Get some friends together and act out your favorite TV show.

-Ask a girl out on a date . . . to a restaurant or pizza place that has a TV.

DURING THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU GET IN TROUBLE

Well, this particular topic can fit under a boring teacher. But have you ever got sent to the office? had to do words?
here are some of my ways you can stop boredom in these areas.

- Try to argue, depending on the teacher you should be able to persuade them, or at least get a few laughs.

- If you get words, 100, 200, 300 etc.. do it during your favorite song/TV show/movie, that way your not too bored.

- Start staring at your teacher(s) as if it was a contest, then they will think your not bored and not stress as much.
