Haha, yeah. We were supposed to read "Of mice and men" and it was so boring. I couldn't get through it at all. After spending forever reading page 1, I started skimming, then skipping pages hoping to get to something exciting. No such luck. The teacher played the start of the book for us on tape. The tape had this calm male voice droning on and on and I nearly fell asleep then. Some weeks later we were to watch the movie in the film room. The curtains were closed. The room was dark. The movie was every bit as boring and low key as the book. I didn't stand a chance! Not even gonna tell ya what woke me up.
I was awakened by my own snore. Really. That wasn't double embarrassing at all. I then overcompensated by groggily and belatedly trying to cover it up with a cough. Sigh. I hope I didn't wake up too many of my classmates!
Believe it or not, I didn't do very well on the test we had on that book.
The next person liked performing in school plays.
