From Where I Sit Currently
I see 22 guys wearing baseball caps. I see 3 girls wearing baseball caps.
I see 8 people in hoodies.
I see 7 people doing something other than taking notes on their laptops.
I see only one girl wearing a scarf, which is a bit shocking since it is 40 degrees outside today.
I hear people sneezing. I hear whispering in the back of the room.
I see 3 more people browsing the web on their laptops.
I hear the sound of keyboards clicking.
I hear my professors voice droning on, reviewing things I already know.
I see my professor hold up a model of a non-polar molecule.
I see a girl walk out of lecture.
I hear no more whispering. I hear no more click click click of typing keyboards.
I notice that the majority of people in this lecture hall have Mac laptops while only a few have PCs.
I notice that only a couple of people have tablets because let's be honest, tablets are pretty useless to take good notes on.
I hear the professor ask the class a question. I hear only one third of the class answer.
I see another girl walk out of lecture. I think about walking out myself.
"Any other questions?" I hear complete silence.
I think about how I can't wait to go to English after this.
I think about how backwards that is since I'm not an English major.
I wonder what it would be like to be a writer.
"Does anyone have any questions up to this point?" I hear complete silence.
I hear shuffling and zippers. I realize that I could have left 15 minutes ago.
Class is over now.
