Bad Mrs. Blackfoot

For the past two weeks there has been a woman age 35 to 40 who sits in front of me in one of my classes. Every day she is wearing some form of sandals that she likes to take off sometime during the lecture. This isn't what catches my eye every day, it's the fact that her feet look like she walked to school through a sewage plant. Now this wouldn't bother me if it weren't for a few things. One, everything else seems to be very presentable, like she is on a job interview but forgot to wash her feet for the past month or so. Two, it's only 9:30 in the morning people!! If it were later in the day that would have been acceptable, maybe she walks a lot at work, but first thing in the morning, please.

This somewhat distracts me. I find myself trying to get conformation from others around me, wanting to know if they see the same thing I do, and if they do, if they find it as distracting as I do. It's as if those dirty...really dirty feet has some sort of power that is trying to suck my will to learn. Does anyone else get distracted by odd things in any of their current or past classes? It may just be that I have adult ADD, I did see an advertisement for that on t.v.

up...you got hit by an add...that sucks...but some people go to work early, by 9:30 I've already been working for 5 1/2 hours...and about the whole being distracted thing, at TMCC I took this guitar class, and the teacher was a dude, who dressed as a woman, I don't know the whole story, like if theres been any sugery or anything...but it was so hard for me to learn in that class, good thing it was guitar so I didn't have any problem doing homework

I think that it is important to select a nemesis in each and every class I have. It usually becomes evident on the first day who it is going to be. However, I do this so that I have something to do when I get bored. I decided some time ago to embrace the fact that I have the attention span of a house fly.
