text: daydreaming in class? im a senior in college with a 3.76 gpa. i always go to class, and study all the time. i take pride in doing well in school and being a good student. i have noticed since 1st grade though that i can't focus in class. i am always doodling or staring outside or off into space. i have always worried that my profs will notice and think i'm a slacker. however, i hear everything that is being said and pay full attention een though it doesn't seem like it. i just can't stare forward at the professor.   the other day, my professor came up to me and said that  if i didn't want to be there then leave becasue it's distracting. i felt horrible. i told her that i could repeat back everything discussed in class that day (and i could) but she just walked away. i have a 3.9 in that class so far. should i really feel this bad? it made me feel like and look like a slacker in front of the whole class. truth is, i have aced all of the quizzes, papers and the mid term exam in her class. what would you do? your teacher is pretty much a rookie. any veteran professor could care less what you are doing as long as you don't distract other students. if she gets distracted, it only shows her slow temper. don't feel bad about it. you have a 3.76 to shove in her face if she doesn't like it. either way, you will be out of school after 1 more semester (or 2 quarters).
