Required Reading

My school readings are insanely boring and sometimes my mind drifts off into a meandering state. I often catch myself doing this, but usually I'll have "read" a page worth of material before I can stop myself. Sometimes I go back, most of the time I don't. In case you were wondering, here are some of my thoughts while drifting off . . .

"Need to check the movie times for Robinson's Place. I should probably do it now before I forget, but I don't want to break my train of thought. Doh! I'm drifting off again. What did I just read . . ."

"Vagabond. Where have I heard that word before? I think it was from a song. But what song was it? What does it mean??? Think it's something like a vagrant? . . ."

"Acquiesced. How do you pronounce that? I've seen that word a lot but it just looks weird. Note to self: look up acquiesced on howjsay.com . . ."

"I'm hungry. I wonder what I can eat. I don't think there's anything in the fridge, I should probably go to the grocery store later . . ."

"Dude, this sounds like something I'd write if I was in a band. No singing, just music. [Starts playing along on my air guitar] I'm such a loser . . ."

"How many more pages are left in this chapter. I'm getting bored. This book is boring. I don't like my Great Works class. The teacher's condescending. And this book is boring. It's not making any sense. Ileto is all over the place. And I'm going to have to sit through an hour and a half of him on Friday. I hope he doesn't speak Tagalog. I hope he's not boring . . ."

"Phooey, what was this chapter about?"
