Simple Things To Do In Class (with no trouble)?

17, and going into Senior year in HS.

So last year, one teacher got fired, the other class was a flop, 2 others were retiring and another also got fired...

But in my first class, ASL, where teacher #1 got unfairly fired, she stopped teaching and we all had fun and games for the good other 1/4 of the year.

Problem with that was I'm a pretty low key girl, pretty quiet, likes to keep to myself and listen to music and doodle while the rest of the class goes insane.

But it was really boring doing that for an hour each day.

Long story short, what can I do in my classes for this year if I get some free time at the end of class or if I get bored? I get bored really quickly and easily and usually lose concentration fairly quickly (which isn't great but oh well).

I don't want to do things that will get me in trouble or put the spotlight on me because I'm not that kind of person.

I know doodling, and daydreaming and stuff.

But maybe like origami? Maybe learn some pencil spinning tricks?

Just simple things I can do just to do, you know. Nothing huge and grand but nothing bland and boring like staring at the ceiling or something.

Just for those times in class when I need something to preoccupy me.

Thanks guys!

    Since it's your senior year, maybe some extra studying on your other courses...you want/need to make the best marks you can, since you're probably applying to college/university...(even for people who don't apply senior year, they may find something they want to do/study in the future)....also I like to make lists....sounds geeky, but it doesn't have to be a "to-do" list, make a list of your best memories, things you want to do in the future, etc!

    Why waste time and show up at all if there are no teachers? Take a GED preparatory course and complete the certification and find a job. Starbucks is always looking for people to serve coffee and pastries, clean up and open and close their stores. Now Starbucks even pays for online college courses for its employees. Nice benefit. Plus a free pound of coffee, cooperative training, skills development and discipline training as well. Why waste time as you indicate? Oh, you can forget about a college education.

    Free time in class? What should you do? Talk to the principal and find out why your teacher is not teaching. You should not have so much free time in your class that you have to fret over how to fill it.

    If you have free time, STUDY.
