One thing I will never
understand, or want to understand, is annoying people in classes. I mean, I
have sympathy for those who have a cold and can’t stop sneezing; that
unfortunately happens to all of us. The people I am talking about are the ones
who are constantly doing other things in class other than focusing on the
class. The ones who are on their laptops searching the web or messaging a
friend and typing at a frantic speed even though there are no notes to copy
down.
I guess for
the most part we all have our times when are bored and want to text a friend,
but some people will literally not do anything school related the entire class.
This is so distracting to everyone else because they are always so oblivious
when the teacher will ask them a question. First of all, they have no idea what
the Professor is talking about and therefore have to ask the question again.
Secondly, the Professor clearly knows you weren’t paying attention just like
every other person in your row and every row behind you. That is the main
reason they probably asked you the question and not someone who was paying
attention. They know the people who are paying attention know what is going on,
for the most part. This subject doesn’t
frustrate me so much as to it annoys me personally. What really bugs me is the
fact of how much we pay for one single class for only four months. What’s the
point of spending your own money, your parent’s money or your loaned from the
government money (which you have to pay back) if you just want to surf the web?
I apologize
if this offends any of you, but maybe it’ll be an eye opener. But I don’t think
it will even be an eye opener because these sorts of people most likely have
annoyed everyone, even if they are the person who sometimes does this. I have
one class where we actually aren’t aloud laptops, which maybe is a little harsh
because there are a lot of notes to be taken.
But at the same time, the Professor probably knows why most people are
on their computers. Especially because this class is a math sort of class with
some theory mixed in. We are allowed to have tablets if you want to see the PowerPoint
closer up or at a slower speed but it doesn’t allow you to type and annoy
everyone around you cause your screen is open for the world behind or beside
you to see.
So please people, be considerate of the people sitting
around you. If your always the annoying person, just stop.
