I usually just stare off into space and think about things randomly. Sometimes I doodle on my paper or pull out my TI-83 and play games.
 
When I'm bored at school, I do several things:

Play "Block Dude" on my TI-83+(gotten to level 8 if I remember...)
Re-color my TI-32(with Sharpies, I've gotten many complements)
Fold up the edge of the loose-leaf paper that comes in a Mead Neatbook(it's fun)
Show off my Mazda pens, Mazda keychains, Mazda notebook, and other Mazda stuff to classmates that are also bored.(I just got this cool mini-Mazda booklet, it explains who they are, thier history, thier cars, thier programs, just about everything about them in a 1"X1.5" foldout booklet, very spiffy)
Practice drawing Mazda emblems on my stuff, or creating Mazda images on the TI-83+(very fun, my bro once made a drawing of the intire engine bay of his '87 626, and I've made front, back, and side views of the 3, started making an interior view but it looked terrible, so I quit)
Look out the doors and windows of the classroom and wave at the peeps.
Look around the room at the shotty job Parkway did at putting up the walls after they found out that maybe an "open" style school doesn't work(back in the '70s, Parkway did this in several schools, all failed horificly, so they put up piss-poor walls that deflect when leaned against and offer very little in noise dampening and have big gaps and stuff between the segments)
Daydreaming about possible situations that could close the school(one was a delivery truck backing into a support pilar and part of the school collapsing)
Daydreaming about what I could be doing becides class and how much more I could learn while not in class.
and a lot of other stuff...
 
reassembling the engine in my car, when i really, but i mean really have nothing to do? :D
 
when I get bored at school I usally sleep if I'm bored enough.

Sometimes I'll ask to leave class and go out and sit in my car or run down to McDonalds and grab a Big Mac. Although its hard to explain that to some teacher. My German teach doesn't care though as long as I bring him something. :D

Or if I can't do that I play games on my cell phone.

When I used to get bored at work I'd just start waxing random cars.

an old and rusted out Integra i'm trying to pull some power from (so far, so good!)
 
LOL Street, that's like my Geometry teacher...he gives extra credit for treats brought in by kids like snacks and sweets. He lets us eat in class too, even though food and drinks are not allowed on the 2nd floor at all. Last week, one kid was eating chips and cookies, and he said "You know Mr.Harris I need some milk with this." and Mr Harris said "Go down to lunch, get milk, and bring me back something, and we will pretend like you were here the whole time."(Math, English, and history eat 2nd lunch, while the other classes eat 1st lunch, which starts after 2nd block while we are in 3rd block, and an hr into class we go to lunch and then come back to class for a half hr) And that's what he did...
 
Yea Block Dude is all I got really...my link port was messed up from when I got it, and then I tried minutely to fix it and it pretty much just came apart...the calc works great but I'm not able to DL anything...
 
Wow, school was fun today!

On the bus ride to school, the bus driver said that school was going to be canceled today. We got to school, and 1/3 of the school is out of power. So we were sent home at about 8:40 and here I am.
 
Sometimes I just get up and walk around the office. Sometimes I surf the `Net. Sometimes I play Yahoo Spades. Sometimes I find something to do that is acutally productive.

And sometimes (on a rare occation) I just leave. If there is absolutely nothing to do at work, and I can foresee nothing to do in the near future, I will run to some electronics store and just shop for a while. I usually try to incorporate that into my lunch so that I'm not being a total slacker.

Because you weren't in the Parkway district! This type of thing has happened several times before...
 
So Street, you wax random cars?

i can just picture it, you waxing a car at 3am, and some old guy coming out of the hose. "You Damn Kids! Stop waxing my damn car!" Shakin his fist and all that :lol:
 
What are some good games for TI-83+? Most of the kids at school only have Tetris and Mega Man. I'm going to get that USB connector thingie.
 
I got the connectivity kit for it...too bad the calc end don't work...I'll have to take it apart and figure what the hell happened.
 
At school I used to fall asleep hiding behind my book, in my computer class I used to muck up the school network! (the idiot computer teacher thought I couldnt see him typing the network admin password :lol:) so I managed to bring the schools network to a halt hehe! I also used to download songs off napster (those were the days ;) )

In my old job I used to play Pac-man on my Psion, or go to GTPlanet.

Usually now im just posting here, or im busy, or sometimes if there isnt ANYTHING for me to do (this is rare) I go to the swimming pool or the gym :cool: I love the company I work for!
 
oh another thing i do is draw cars in the back pages:
ITALIAN - An LM RX-7
ENGLISH - An Old WRX Dragster :)
GEOGRAPHY - An Evo VI Rally Car
RELIGION - A few side on views of Wrx's crashing into Greenpeace people 😈

And we used to start our calculators and keep pressing 1 + 1 =2
Answer + 1 = 3 etc until 1000. We also used to make rude words and stuff like that :) (we had the first 6 letters plus the last 3)
 
Mine consist of
Math: :mini: Cooper S

That's all I have so far, haven't had to bring the other books to class yet.
