who would you be?

Its hard to try to imagine what everyone on GC looks like and how they would act in everyday life. So how about this:
Imagine that we are all in the classroom at school. What student best represents you? Example: for me, I am the one who tries to keep quiet, but every once in awhile, I will ask the teacher a question about something I dont understand. Or I might raise an issue that will get students in a frenzy. Other than that, I try to stay to myself in an effort not to step on anyone's shoes.

Who are you?

The kid who sits in the back of the class with her nose buried in a book, who only looks up to make a smart-aleck remark.

Depends on the topic of the class...

If the class is boring I will sit in the back and goof off til the class is over.

If it is a topic that interests me, I will be the main one participating in discussions.

I hope there is no one on GC that is the type that always questions the prof, like they know everything about the topic and prof is an idiot. I LOATHE these people.

I'm the girl that sits in the middle of the class as to not be thought of as a brown noser, but not as someone who doesn't care. I'll actively take part in conversations and ask pertinent questions.

I am the guy that sits nearest the door so when class ends I can get the heck out of there. I do answer the occasional question to make like I am paying attention.

I think this depends on what kind of class it is:

*A class I am interested in: Sit towards the front, take active part in the discussion, and take lots of notes!

*A class I am not too interested in: Sit towards the back, pass a note or two to my friend next to me, read about the LSATs, or doodle where my notes should be.

*A class I know I need to make a good grade in whether I am interested in the class or not : Sit front & center with a shirt that says "I LOVE STATS" (or whatever other class it may be)

Damn, you took that one already.................

Depends on the class. If it's something simple like Spanish, I'd be the guy who sits in the middle or the back and basically answer 80% of the questions and brownose the teacher.

If it was something harder for me like Asian studies 420, I'd be zntke

I am very quiet in class. Everyonce in a while, I will bring up an insightful point in my class, but aside from that I am quiet. Oh! And I also love to argue about issues I feel very strongly about, when they are rised in class (although I never bring them up).

Hmmmmm... Perhaps I am not as quiet as I thought.

Still, I don't really like to talk to people in class all that much.

we got this one cat in class...he's a PHd guy, and the rest of us are master's students. well, this fool always feels the need to ask question, but in a way which is conversational with the prof...like he's your buddy, pal. i really don't care how you like to think, fool...just shut up so we can take notes. did i mention this MAB (he's not a sigma, he's a Mark Ass Buster) annoys the piss out of me?

Dionysus · #10 03-02-2003, 07:28 PM

It depends, most importantly I want to blend in.
If everyone is quiet and being serious, I'll do the same. If everyone is goofing off and slacking, I'll do the same.

I VERY seldom take notes or pay attention in class....unless the subject matter is interesting. I spend the largest portion in class SLEEPING.

FiReKraCkEr · #11 03-02-2003, 07:57 PM

I would be the one making the teacher and classmates laugh with my funny stories...

SATX*APhi · #12 03-02-2003, 08:02 PM

I sit in the front of the class, hate to speak up in class, and will only answer a question if nobody in the room knows the answer. I rarely take notes, but do pay attention to the lecture. If I have a question, I will wait until class is over to ask. Oh yes, I'm usually one of the first to be out of the door. My bag is packed a few minutes before class is over. That's me.

Optimist Prime · #13 03-02-2003, 08:05 PM

I bring up stuff when I get bored with the lecture. But its all relevant. Then I NEVER...EVER follow up, i just start the conversation so I get a break from the boring ass lecture.

**wishing I had THAT shirt back in the summer of 1996 as I sat through Dr. Eimer's STATS class.**

Most classes, I will take notes and listen but if it is a DAC (dry azz course) and a friend is in it, we sit side by side in the back or off to the side and write notes to each other.

If it is a dry azz course and no friend who will write notes with me is in the course, I stare at the clock, make THINGS TO DO LISTS, write letters, write poems, DOODLE the 6 things I know how to draw over and over.

If it is a class that stimulates me orally, I am a talker and will be all up in the discussions.

I would be in the corner wearing a DUNCE cap!

Actually, in grade school when the teachers would ask a question, I would raise my hand. The teacher would say, "Is there anyone besides Cream who knows the answer?"
