Trying not to fall asleep

There was a very small chance that I'd actually go to my lectures today. Mainly because I've got a dissertation to write, partly because about 15 people turned up to Mondays lectures, and a little bit because my bed is ever so slightly more comfortable than the lecture room seats. There's also the factor that the lecturer for some unknown reason (maybe payment or student torture), has to make the lecture last the full hour or however long it's scheduled. This is understandable, but what is not is the one or sometimes two people who turn up with every bit of "background reading" you could possibly do... wearing some sort of jack wills gillet and joggers combo, sometimes wearing glasses but not essential, writing every single word down, but still feeling the need.. despite the rest of the population having a disgusting hangover/indescribable urge to get back to their own houses... to actually respond when the torturer at the front asks " Ok that's it for today. Does anyone have any questions?". Even the lecturer asking the question seems quite irritated that someone pipes up to keep the whole group there just a few minutes longer. Maybe they've already finished their Battlestar Galactica box set and want to hang around, but for the sanity of everyone else they should probably just keep schtum. Rant over... still in bed.
