I would be a self-described "busy beaver," and I ALWAYS sit in the fourth row, center section.
Kudos!

starting this year, I decided to sit in either first or second row in all my classes so I wouldn't fall asleep every other class xD
when is thanksgiving break for you guys?

This totally works for me. I always try to get a seat in the middle, and the second or third row (first row is too intimidating) and I ALWAYS ask questions until I fully understand the topic.
Plus, then I can't fall asleep. :/

I don't see it... have you been trying too hard to procrastinate sunday night?
Posted by: deng on November 23, 2008
I suspect that I won't have too many seat choices in these big lecture halls...
Posted by: Matt A. on November 23, 2008
There's left-handed seats in 10-250. This is a fact that was not immediately apparent when I began sitting in the section that was always suspiciously empty. It took me about 1.5 months to figure out why taking notes was so uncomfortable.
@ Oasis:
Let's test this with my data.
7.012: Center section, either far left or far right edge, midway back. Busy. Check.
24.900: Second row, edge closest to center aisle. Picky. Nope (I'm more sleepy than anything).
8.01t: Error. Cannot compute.
3.091: Front row center. Overachieving. Check.
Overall, not bad.

@ Paul -
I've fallen asleep in Auroux's class, in the VERY FIRST ROW. Worst feeling ever cuz he's actually a really good lecturer and I really just fell asleep due to exhaustion....T_____T
@ Lefties -
Most auditoriums have lefty desks. For example, 32-123 (the auditorium in the Stata Center), has "seat columns" (in airline lingo, each seat that has the same letter) devoted to lefties (you just have to remember to sit on the edge column of a block - sadly I don't remember which side of the block it was...oh well you'll figure it out soon enough).

That was basically my thought process until I happened to walk into a lecture hall and noticed a column of seats with desks on the left side and thus discovered the existence of lefty desks. (I have rather limited experience with those types of desks/auditorium seats being that I'm still in high school.)

And to think I was actually going to skip this entry reading '15.xxxxx'...this is priceless.

But I really don't have the overachiever grades no matter how hard I study.
Yes, I'm a red square with average grades. Yes, that's pathetic.

Impressive chart!
I always sit in the first row though... because I'm hearing impaired so I'm sort of forced to sit in front. Otherwise, I can't hear ;(.
Posted by: wendi on November 24, 2008
was the overachiever likely to seat in the back, or was the back seat made the overachiever?
I used to seat in front '_'

Well, usually I'll be sitting in the second or third row. So I guess that makes me being categorized as 'Picky'. But in reality, I'm in the 'busy' group. Busy but enjoys every class. I do fall asleep sometimes when there's just too much of assignments and 2 hours of sleep.
