The worst thing in the world is being bored, never in my life have i felt more down. As i sit there in school watching the clock tic endless minutes away i try to entertain myself somehow. I've visited loads of websites in the past where they think they have the true cures for boredom...and I've tried most of them at least twice. The other ones involved inflicting pain and to be honest...I'm not that bored. So heres a few things i found....

1. balancing a spoon on your nose
2. Learn to juggle
3. Sing the star wars theme tune
4. Try make people do things by mind power only
5. Try not to think of penguins
6. Ping paper at peoples heads without them noticing
7. Make farting noises with your elbow
8. Imagine your a dinosaur
9. Pretend your having a fit in class
10. Learn Chinese
Now as valid as all these things are *cough*...there's not many can do i class. For one i would need a spoon, two i would need some juggling balls, Three is possible but would get on my nerves, four i have tried....but i hence the word 'tried' its just a coincidence if the things you want them to do happens. Five is virtually impossible unless you get easily distracted, six is the best by far. Try see how many balls of paper you can chuck at someone before they notice its you....its very amusing when they turn round and blame everyone else. Seven i cant do...i have a bony elbow....Eight...really....why would you want to imagine your a dinosaur? the mind boggles! Nine is fairly funny, but is extremely insensitive to less unfortunate people. Its funny to do it on a train though...oh the laughs that gets. But then i feel bad and donate money to charity after. Ten...give me time im working on it. The alphabet ain't' that hard though. Try it.
So basically i haven't come up with a logical plan of how to cure boredom...i just count the tics on the clock, think happy thoughts, and go into a daydream.....but i tell you one boredom buster to use in school...and its tried and tested.....try actually doing the work for once....try listening....the time goes by much faster when you listen and actually do the work. I know for sure that if i become bored i stop listening and i miss out on the work and time goes so slow....but the best advice i can offer is listen and do the work. Be determined and motivated in class and i promise time will drift past so fast you wont even think you were bored to start with.
