Bored....

So here I am in the computer lab at school. These things are pretty cool, sure they smell kinda funky (or is that just the guy beside me?). Yes, I have a strange feeling that people are continiously looking over my shoulder, and it feels like its a hundred fifty degrees in here. But other than that, I don't have to worry about arguing over the computer with my sister.
I'm supposed to be doing research for my final essay in English. But you can only do that so long before you feel like your're going to die if something doesn't give.
So now I'm blogging, and checking myspaces and stuff.
.....
Why is it that when you have to do your work and you only have an hour to get it finshed, people keeping IMing you and trying to get you to talk. But when you're bored out of your brains... no one's on. AT ALL. Not even the people I'd rather not talk to.
I need some help...
First of all, does anyone ever read these stupid things? I know I'm kinda knew and my blog pretty much sucks, but is there anyone out there?
If so, what do you do when you're out of things to do? I've already counted 453 ceiling tiles, read someone else's blog over their shoulder, tried to work through another article for research, checked to see if anyone's logged into myspace, and I still have another hour before my next class. UGHH! Some one help. I need ideas.
