Now dear ForHedgethistledim, you must remember that most students don't have the same pinache that some of us do. It's far more subtle to, instead of pretending to A) stretch, B) you've got a crick in your neck, C) ask a student behind you a question, D) check your cellphone, or E) look at your watch in order to see a clock, to keep your eyes on your professor always. Surely they don't notice a quick glance at the watch that they wear religiously on their right wrist. If you don't already, keep an eye out for that. [img]ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
