coping with boredom

[eternalworm2008]

im at school as i write this. the keyboard doesnt work properly and i have to use a digital keyboard to write this because the space bar doesnt work. i have an hour and 24 minutes left of this class and then i can go home. im very bored. how do i cope with this? i have no motivation to draw or read. im taking a risk writing this so i cant game. i ran out of mobile data so i cant scroll anything. most sites i tend to visit are embarrassing to browse in public. im pretty powerless. what do i doooooooo?

if you have access to any word processing programs, maybe try making ascii art! it doesn’t even have to be good, i like seeing what patterns i can make… or you could try making your favorite character, an object you see in the room, or look at sites like the ascii art archive for inspiration :o)

Find a programming language to play with (or learn)! There's always something.

Back when I was at school in the early-to-mid 1990s our school computers were super locked-down (and there was no Internet access whatsoever), but I still enjoyed finding ways to get access to a programming language or two (and seeing what I could learn/do with it!).

You've clearly got Web access, so you're a huge leap up! Dip into Codepen or W3Schools and learn some HTML/CSS/JS. Or here's another few hundred programming languages that you can try with nothing more than a browser!
