I know this is totally random...
Whenever I am doing anything but sleeping I have to close my eyes (no, not blink) every few minutes. It's really weird. I think it's a habit I developed from not getting enough sleep. My eyes were probably really dry and didn't want to get exposed to all that air (damn oxygen...xD) and they needed to rest or something O_o. I've learned how to do alot of stuff without having to look- walking, talking, writing, listening, even typing this right now.
Well, it comes in handy when I need to catch some imaginary snooze when I'm walking in the halls in school but it's actually a really bad habit when I'm in class or swimming. In class, especially in English, I close my eyes like when the teacher is giving a lecture or speech about something. Partially becuase it's REALLY boring and partially becuase I'm tired.
Well; one time in class I was closing my eyes all wierd after getting 6.5hrs of sleep because I had to finish my geometry project. My EVIL english teacher Mrs. Bing comes up to me and passes by me and gives me the evil eye. Like, seriously- I could tell from her glare that she totally wanted to kill me. She looked at me like I was so inferior and I could literally see a glint of hate in her eyes. It was really creepy... I ended up getting an average citizenship grade in that class 3 when all my other citizenship grades were above average and outstanding (1 & 2). =_= Stupid Binglish!!!
And in swimming, when I close my eyes for a moment, I veer off course and end up crashing into the lane line or something. (Talk about stupid) Yeah I know, I'm dumb.:U
I have really gotta kick this habit. I think I developed it this year or something. I think I need to sleep more >_>. It would help alot and I wouldn't be so wierd :C
Anyways another English antecdote...
I really hate Binglish because the teacher hates everyone and everything; also I sit next to a bunch of talkative, annoying idiots. The class is the most boring class I've ever had. Instead of teaching us interesting and original things it is incredibly clear that the teacher takes all her materials directly from the book. The teacher assigns these typed assignments and she cuts slack for the kids without a computer; alot of kids take advantage of this and pretend they don't have a computer so they don't have to type their homework. All the time I type my homework and make sure it's perfect when some kids just do their homework in class without typing it or anything. The unfairness of that really pisses me off.
Also I sit next to a bunch of annoying people who talk ALL the time and ruin my concentration. I can't think about anything and I can barely hear the teacher sometimes. The class is boring enough already. I don't need my concentration to dwindle more with talks about who went to who's house and who likes who. +__-. If I really had a choice I would tell the people I sit next to to shut up!
Plus, because English is scheduled so weird in my schedule,I sometimes go to the wrong class thinking that I don't have English that day. I usually end up going to Gym (way on the other side of the school) and have to come rushing back making me late for class.
Today in Binglish (Mrs. Bing + English) I was late because I went to the Gym by accident. I thought it was a different day and I ended up running all the way from Gym to Binglish while dropping all of my things. I lost an important bracelet my neighbor gave me and A LOT of candy I had bought earlier in the hall. That's not the worst part- when I got to Binglish, Mrs. Bing handed me a paper but my hands were all full and I quickly said "my hands are full" and the some people in the class thought I said the 'f' word. I had to explain what I said and it was really awkward. So in addition to being late to class I might have had said the 'f' word. (by the way, it shouldn't even be in the teacher's mind that I said the 'f' word) The teacher already totally hates me, and this has to happen. Well, I felt like crap the whole day and it was probably the worst day of the whole school year. I think I'm going to get a really bad grade in Binglish and my citizenship grade in that class this term.
Well, I just had to rant that out. =( kinda depressed...

ugh tht sucks major ass. hmm wut you could do is try and keep your schedule memorized so you dont even have to check if u have english that day. & deff get more sleep (cut down on your extra-curriculars for a couple of days if necessary & see if the eye thing stops) and ALWAYS eat breakfast. my mom read this study and she told me it was like kids who eat breakfast do ALOT better in school. sounds kinda cliche right? but im betting its true.
good luck in binglish :/ talk to your guidance counselor also abt the teacher and wut you dont like about her/her classes/the unfairness etc.
LOL binglish! i'm sorry about your day and everything though. =/ and ugh it totally sucks when you'd love to tell the people around you to shut it but you can't! it usually depends on who it is for me, but when i really do need to concentrate i do end up asking the people around me to be quiet and they look at me weird but they shut up. =)
and about the habit.. have you ever tried eye drops? if it really is because your eyes are dry they might help. i can't say because i've only used them like twice but you should give it a try.
Yeah gooddluck. SOme teachers are weird like that. Wow, i would love to get 6.5 hours of sleep, I normally get from 1-6 so only 5 hours of sleep for me.
