your gut doesn't lie, Barb.
We know classroom seats are uncomfortable, right? LOL
Me, I am in the habit of trying to make excuses to not see what I see..I am getting much better at that and not dismissing myself and my concerns.

How about eyes in front on the lecture?
ROFLMAO
I always placed myself in the front row..it helps.
I really, really did. and it did keep me from being distracted by anything.
Classroom time is for class.
