my physics tutorial was canceled today (yay!) but i have a practical at 3pm (boo!) so it wasn't worth walking back home as then i would only be home for half an hour and...yeah. so, i'm bored and sitting at a computer in the maths building. in a room of about 20 students none of whome i know.

does anyone have any ideas of what i can do to amuse myself? the usual methods of texting random people random things (there was a girl earlier eating a carrot! but she was american, bless her cotton socks...) and moving in my games. heck-i'm even bored of playing hearts!

ideas, someone?...

Can you see the power cables under the desk? Slowly edge the main one out of the socket and see if you can act as stunned as everyone else when the whole system goes down and people lose hours of work and possibly whole projects! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Alternatively, start smoking?

Well, you could sit back and take stock of all the good fortune in your life. It's a great thing to do on occasion. 🙂

(probably not the answer you were looking for though... 😀 )

EDIT: also, the power cables are built into the desks, so that won't work...and you can't smoke inside...

Go to the Physics building canteen area (that' "next door" to those without an intimate knowledge of the St. Andrews univeristy layout) , sit in the comfy chairs and talk to people. Its a nice way to spend the afternoon. Maybe get a nice cup of tea too.

go take a walk around the building, say the odd comment to everyone you walk past like "wow great hair" (obviously u dont mean it)
but its nice to make someone feel happy and make thier day!!
*smiles*

or you can visit a really disturbing website on the internet that very freaky!!!
here's a few of my favourites
http://www.fat-pie.com/ - its a weird site that provides very strange
cartoons!

http://www.pimpwar.com/start.pimp - its amusing, you play the part
of a ruthless pimp on a quest for power and money.

a have other boredem solving games, but i te'll you if your really desperate!!!

other tips: go get something to eat
chat to other bored people e.g Rhp
twidle your thumbs
tap your feet
u could always get some fresh air?
or just face the fact that you have to sit around for hours

I recommend you start drinking, heavily.

actually-i was back in my room by then...and alcohool isn't my cup o' tea at the moment. which is pretty obvious, as it's acohol not tea. but that's beside the point as i would have to have gone to the union with someone not all alone...unless you are telling me to drink alone?!?

anyway-if any of you properly know st andrews, you would have relised that yesterday was a tuesday so you don't go to the union. you go to either the vic or the lizard, where it is "boozeday tuesday". i.e. £1 mixers all night long...😀

You could always play eye spy with yourself, choosing a letter in one voice and then guessing answers very loudly in another voice.
