Gah!

That abnormal psych class... It's DEFINITELY not worth what it's doing to my sanity.

We're talking about - I don't know what. Social anxiety disorders. Something. And Asperger's comes up. And he says something about how "most aspies are of average intelligence - above average intelligence, most of them are geniuses!" and I'm just sitting there going "well, gee, thanks, but that's just not true!"

So I raised my hand.

Now, you need to understand something. Usually, I sit by the wall. I will never willingly sit out in the open. I have to be in the wall, preferably in a corner, in the back - and if I can face the door, so much the better. But today I was late. And the ONLY desks left were right in the front. I could've reached out and pulled his hair.

And he ignored me.

I should've just said something, I normally would've forgotten to even raise my hand - but I was *right there!* How could he possibly not call on me? It's a little blatant, isn't it? And it's not like I'm always calling out in class - in fact, because I know it annoys people, I've taken to playing a lot of freecell (besides, in this class it's really saving my temper).

And he ignored me!

Yeah, it did come up in class, and no, I don't think he was. And he looked right at me too.

It's good though. Next class I'll come in early, get a good wall seat where he can't see me, and spend the class playing freecell and minesweeper. I love my laptop. Even if I didn't have my writing problems, and organizational problems (that's where the laptop's helped me the most, surprisingly), I would still have to have it to zone out effectively in class.

Some profs actually are "calling" on you when they look right at you. I never know for sure though and am rather confused and take a good long time before I realize they want me to say whatever it is. :-P

But yeah, there are certain profs and situations where I open my mouth without raising my hand anyway. ::snerk::
