How To Be a Perfect Angel Student For Three Days

.... I don't know if he still reads this, and I don't know if this even matters anymore.
I DO know that he's most definitely avoiding me. And I'm glad he is, because I don't want to talk to him. As Weston said, I have no damned self-control. It'd hurt more.. And I can't avoid yahoo, and I can't avoid the chance of running into him. Because in the back of my mind, I try to, but it'd be bad to. I guess I'm so used to clicking yahoo just as I get home, hoping to see a friendly 'face' there. So I still do.

So, if he reads this, and is still going to go through well.. my 'dare', then this is for him. A general guideline of how to make teachers love you, or at least, not hate you.

Wake up early on the first morning. You need time to get yourself psyched for hell. And properly prepared. As it's the first day, there's no much you need, really. As you weren't exactly paying attention in the first place.
But, for sure, you need a calculator (if you have math), more than three sheets of clean paper, two pencils, preferably mechanical, and an eraser. Be sure to bring all the textbooks you vaguely remember them mentioning. Binder. And have all the papers with you that they've passed out.
ALSO! Be sure to have some sort of notebook/notepad for jotting down homework!!!!!

If you wake up early, you should have time to do this, and do whatever you need to do in the morning. Be sure to eat breakfast, and either brush your teeth or have a stick of gum afterwards. Save the wrapper in your pocket for future use.
Make sure your pants aren't showing off your boxers (I'm just going through my general thoughts), and that you're at least slightly presentable. Shoes tied (haha), shirt not super lopsided or anything, pants zipped and buttoned, and not sagging.
Just be sure you don't look like you've woken up from a drinking party, with your hair messed up and you looking dead. I'm sure that's what they'd assume if your hair was crazy and you had circles under your eyes.

So you get on the bus. Be sure you have a sack lunch packed, and put away. Make sure you have everything, again. Keep ONE pencil in your pocket.
Mechanical is the best ever, because you'll never get up to sharpen, which annoys teachers a lot when they're talking. (no, don't use that info to your advantage. You're trying to be an angel, hun)

Yeah, we're not even at school yet, and you already have a lot to think about.
When you walk, don't slouch. NEVER wear your hood indoors.
Have a watch on your wrist. If not, be sure to come in and make sure you're not late!! NO being late. Late is BAD.

When you walk into the room, if you're the only one there or if there's only one or two students, greet the teacher. If you hate that idea, just give them a glance or a nod. You can give a yawn and say "Good morning Mr/Mrs..--"
Greeting them makes them think you respect them. DO NOT BE SARCASTIC! It's huge minus points. Be sure to use no slang, and say it clearly and not too loudly but not too quietly.
If there are a lot of people in there already, walk in the room, glance at the teacher, and that's good enough. Your entrance must be quiet and smooth. No slamming and banging.

Sit down in your seat, facing forward, with your feet both on the ground or crossed. You should be there at least two minutes before the bell rings.
For good measure, at that moment, before the bell rings, you should unzip your backpack and get out the proper supplies for the class. Take out your binder, and any books you may be using in the class. Set them neatly in front of you, lay your pencil next to these things, and wait for the bell to ring. Leave your backpack open.
Don't talk to any of your peers. Even though there's two minutes till the bell rings.

As the teacher stands up in front of the class, immediately look right at him/her. STARE at them, as if you're drilling your eyes into them. Pretend it's the most crucial information you'd ever been getting in your life. Pretend that if you miss something, YOU WILL DIE.
Seriously.

Don't close your eyes, don't look down at your pencil nor paper as they talk. Look at him/her. THE WHOLE TIME. You may glance at the clock, but you must be looking up and in the general direction of the teacher.
Listen to the words they say. Sort out everything you hear. The key to paying attention is, really thinking about what you need to and only what you need to. If you listen and think about each and every word they say, it quickly grows boring and exhausting. So you can sorta doze off, but only when you master the skill of waking yourself up during key phrases, and always being half listening, and knowing when to and when you can doze.

When you can really doze off:

-When they're explaining something for the second time that you've already heard for those who forgot/weren't paying attention (*coughs*)
-When they're busy talking to another student, or putting grades into the computer
-When they're distracted by the idiot in the hall
-When they tell everyone to get something out, and you already have it in front of you
-When they're busy writing something on the board that takes a while
-When they're explaining a problem you did and didn't have trouble with

Those are the joyous moments.
The rest of the time, you must at least be half-listening.

When you should really listen:

-When they're explaining any handout you've recieved
-When they say the word "homework" (you should feel a sudden click, and open your notebook/planner to jot notes)
-When they say "attention class" or "be quiet class" (This is extremely crucial. If you give them respect at this moment, they will not have their attention drawn to you being bad, therefore you will seem more angelic)

When they're talking on and on about a handout, skim over the words they're reading from the sheet with your eyes, not reading every word but seeing exactly where they are and what's next, in case they call on you.

One thing to say that's fairly obvious but quite important..... You must be completely obedient. No matter what they ask, do it. And do it without hesitation. NEVER EVER argue back. EVER. The teacher will automatically dislike you, and will hate you if you do anything that draws attention to yourself again, thinking you're just trying to annoy them. That's one dumb mistake most students make. They think their teacher is really mean, but really, it's their own fault. The teacher will assume you a bad kid, if you make a bad impression. Therefore they will be a lot harder on you, more so than anyone else. So be careful.

"Put away that pencil" Do so. "Close your book" Do so. "Spit out that gum" Carefully walk to the garbage can and do so. Without a word, or with a quiet "yes sir" or "yes ma'am"

If you follow these rules very carefully, there should be no reason the teacher hates you. If they still hate you, you must have really screwed up something at the beginning. So continue the pattern for many days in a row, and see if you can make them change their impression.

Never talk to peers during class. EVER. Unless working on a group project.. or during the 'doze off times', as long as the teacher isn't talking. And be quiet, always.

If you have a question, raise your hand. Do not say the teacher's name. If they do not see you, raise your hand higher, and wait. If they turn around for a long time, lower your hand, and raise it again when they seem to be facing your direction. If they still do not call on you, wait for them to pause whatever they're saying, or for them to stop talking to the other student, and say loud enough to be heard "Excuse me Mrs/Mr--...." They should turn around and call on you or come to help you. Only ask relevant questions to what you'd been doing. Any other questions can be saved for later.
In the computer lab you can get up and ask them directly, but if they tell you to wait, wait.
As long as you're being that perfect angel, in the computer lab, you must only use the computer for what you're assigned to do. You can take little breaks to just sit and doze, but get back to work after some time, which is no more than three or five minutes. If you're too tired, just finished what's required and save the rest for home. At least have what you should be doing up on the computer, so you look like you're doing something.

During class, you should check the board or whatever they use for key writing. Like "Test Monday" or "Homework, page-.." This tends to be useful, so you have an idea of what your in store for, so if you miss what they say, you can at least have an idea of what's going on.
If homework is listed, and if you're sure it's for your class, write it in your notebook/planner. Be sure all writings of what homework is is in the same place.. not strewn on random sheets in your binder.

Keep out any sheets they hand out, do not put it in your binder unless it's something that you know you won't need, such as a syllabus for a project that you're not starting yet, that they briefly mention before moving on.
Keep everything in a neat pile, be sure to keep what they're talking about on top. Two piles is good, one side, the left, having your binder so you can get stuff in and out of it, and on the other, the sheets they pass out or the things you're working on.

Never eat anything during class. Never make a lot of noise. Drink nothing but water unless you have permission. DO NOT listen to music during class.

If the teachers says anything you disagree with or that pisses you off, keep it to yourself. Frown, do not make a sound, do not give them the finger. Do not argue. As long as you're the angel student, you shall not.

As the class has five minutes left, do not get excited. Move slowly as if class isn't ending soon. Continue being the quiet angel you have been for the entire period. You can do a victory dance in your head. "WHOOOHOO! CLASS IS ENDING!" (only in your mind, sorry).
Pretend your still working on whatever they gave you, if you're supposed to be. Make slow slow movements, and quietly start putting away everything but what you should be working on. Your binder should always be unzipped, as that you don't want to make much noise. Put the extra papers in your binder, very quietly and very slowly. If the teacher is looking at you, stop moving towards your binder and pause to look at the paper your 'doing'.
Carefully zip your binder, not making noise. There is a trick to this. If you keep your fingers pinching the inside of what your zipping up, it muffles the noise greatly. It won't make that common high-pitched noise that are known and very obvious of zippers. So, master this, and do it slowly.

This way, you'll have one sheet out, your books, and your binder on your desk but closed and ready to be shoved in your backpack.

When there's one minute left, if your teacher isn't pissy about you getting ready, do so. If they're talking, don't, or you risk getting held after class, annoying as it is and as tempting as it is, don't get ready.

Put in your binder first, and then the books in front, as the binder slips in better when your not trying to mash it in between textbooks.

Then, when the bell rings, stand up, and walk out the door, maybe saying a goodbye to the teacher.
