When you have daydreams of KI in the middle of a class where you don't have to do anything, you may come up with some interesting things. I drew this sketch for around 30 minutes yesterday and added extra final details for around 15 min. today. Enjoy!

Beastfan26,

That is a very cool drawing. You obviously have got talent!

_{(Your avatar is very nice, too. I'm flattered you used my tower construction pic to make it).}

All the Best,

Thrill Biscuit.

Ha... very cool!

The trick to life is to get a Blackberry so you can just browse this site in the middle of class if you want to.

...assuming that cellphones and the like are allowed in class, which they now are not at many, many schools...

Moreso now than ever, though. When I was in high school, they used to give you detention for having a cell phone, but now I'm hearing that the same school I went to has a text alert system. I guess they're good now...

UD is completely technologically learning based now...except for with select teachers. I usually have my laptop on with internet in any class that I have. Mostly taking notes.

Correct you are. We usually first and foremost are told not to even bring them to school if possible, and usually the case is if you bring one, you are to use it ONLY if you have any big emergencies, otherwise they are not to be seen. Alot of students find it inane and of course, being them... they disobey it.

At my school if you have one they take it, make your parents pick it up and you get detention of ISS. Great pic beastfan26. I draw stuff like that all the time in school, maybe ill post some sometime!

Very nice drawing. Kudos to you, Beastfan 26.

During my years at school, we would pass messages the old fashion way - by passing a note and hoping the teacher did not catch it and read it out loud. Even when I attended the Mount in the late 80's we were not allowed to use a calculator in our math classes. We had to know how to do all the math problems by hand.

Very nice, beastfan. Now if only I had at least a little artistic talent in me...

Tell me about it. If only we could get good computers to use...

The last three semesters I used my computer for most classes for note-taking and the like. But this semester, I have found it easier to take notes by hand. Mainly because diagrams of chemical reactions and invertebrate anatomy don't seem to transfer very well to a Word document. I remember second semester last year I ended up surfing the internets for an entire Chem 124 class period for 2 good reasons - (1) my teacher was boring and an idiot [this was the class in which we spent a good 45 minutes talking about the difference between soap and detergent], and (2) it was the first day Maverick was testing, so I was IM-ing one of my friends (who worked on Maverick last season), got several good pictures from the CP webcam, and ended up doing a Cedar Fair Village feature later in the day about the first test runs. Good times, good times.

At my school, everyone has laptops. So you can immagine the amount of work being done there!

At my school they have gotten so strict that they lock the bathroom doors with cages so no one can smoke in them and there is only on bathroom in the whole school open and now they take your cell phone and give you a detention for it. Your parents also have to come and pick it up until you get it taken away the second time and then they keep it until the end of the year. I got mine taken away this year when we had a substitute and i was done with all my work. This chick next to me had her ipod out plain as day so i got my phone out to text and as soon as i got it out, we have some mental handicapped people in there so a teacher comes in to help them, and boom as soon as she saw it, it was good as gone. And you know whats funny i was going to Kings Island the next day with no phone for the whole weekend
