In class: Sleepers

Okay. I know. I need to write more posts to this thing or LAMe! LAMe! will just be… lame. (Also, that last sentence was pretty lame in and of itself… I’m sorry). My problem is that there are pretty much only two things I think about: school and boys. School is boring to anyone not in med school (okay, yeah…and even to those who are in med school). And my thoughts on boys/dating are just kind of pathetic/embarrassing. Soo… that leaves me kind of low on topics.

Anyway, in an attempt to keep this thing going, I’ve decided to bore you all and start a series on my favorite things that happen in class. You see, I’m a class-goer (meaning, I’m almost always in class). I’m also pretty much terrible at paying attention. Instead I do really important things like daydream (class is probably my most productive daydreaming time of the day) and people-watch (I would definitely say that socializing is another big motivator behind my class-goer status).

Which leads me to today’s topic: Sleepers. My favorite thing to do in class is look for people who have fallen asleep. I’m not sure why, but it’s pretty much always entertaining to me. And it happens literally every day. There’s one guy who basically sits in the front row and nods off during almost every lecture.

Today, the professor asked if his review session was useful and we all agreed… and then noticed that a girl sitting directly in front of him was completely passed out. AMAZING!

Sometimes, if the people are sleeping in a particularly funny position, or if I’m feeling particularly bored, I’ll point out the Sleepers to the people who I sit next to. If they see someone napping, they'll give me a heads-up... it's a reciprocity thing. And if people are feeling especially feisty they’ll whip out their camera phone and take pictures and post it in our “Narcolepsy Anonymous” group of fb. So good.
