I caught ADD: If you're not happy feel free to move

Earlier this year I think I caught ADD from someone. Yeah that's right I caught it like it's a cold. It's hard to pay attention in class sometimes, but it's especially hard in Doctrine and Covenants. I don't think it's the teacher's fault, it's just hard to listen to him when you're in good company. Krista, Bill and I (and sometimes Bill's friend) end up chatting, doing crosswords or ken ken, or playing Boggle on Bill's friend's phone for most of class. We all got a little nervous last week for our first exam figuring our lack of listening might hurt us, but after taking it and all getting A's we discovered that you can get an A without paying attention. This was good news for us, but apparently bad news for everyone around us who may not have gotten such good grades or just want to pay attention. I think just in the last week or so maybe two people have gotten up and moved away from us. Tuesday was no different. We found three seats together, got out our materials and then talked for just about the rest of the class and I managed to finish a ken ken as well. The girl to our left was obviously irked probably from the very beginning. She had two empty seats to her left, but what ensued amazed us. She made attempts to show us her annoyance and flashed furtive looks in our direction often. She leaned in her seat to the left a bit and you could tell she was fighting within herself as to whether to move or not. She probably thought it would be disruptive to the class or rude to us, but we wouldn't have minded one bit. She moved her back pack from the right side of her feet to the left and lifted the desk part connected to the arm rest of the chair numerous times, but never got up. What ended up happening was freaking ridiculous. She leaned her body as far to the left as she possibly could and just stayed in her seat in a seemingly very uncomfortable position for the rest of class. See for yourself.
