Being Bored

     What does is mean to be bored? Does it mean having nothing to do, having nothing you want to do, or you just want to be lazy and not do anything? I don't know. Seriously, I don't know.
     People throw around the word "bored" all the times, yet they never really stop to consider what they are truly using the word for. Whether it is at school or at home, the word "bored" is often used in many various ways and the most common phrases are "I'm so bored." and "This is so boring."
     Let's use an example, and because I am writing this blog for Sutherland's class, I'll be mean and pick on him. Today is Tuesday and you are already tired of school and classes because it is sixth period Sutherland's class. You go into the classroom and sit down in the regular seat just like any other regular day. Sutherland starts class with his usual blabber about whatever he might be talking about. After a while, Sutherland hits his beloved bowl a bit too loudly, pissing you off, to get everyone's attention. Then, he truly starts classes with some kind of strange topic talk that leads into a Quickwrite: "So! Let's talk about...(skip, skip, skip)...You have ten minutes and...Go!...(skip, skip, skip)...and the ten minutes is over!" Then comes the discussion you entirely don't pay attention to because ever since class has started, you have only been think about one thing: class being boring.
     Why is that? Why would an individual be bored? Out of the three possible choices, which was the individual's reason? I don't know the answer to this question. Maybe everyone has a different answer, or maybe there's no answer at all. I suppose how an individual chooses to reply to this question would depend on who the individual is because different individuals have different opinions.
     If this question came up for you, how would you answer? Would it be one of the three possible options or something else? Respond or comment if you want.


P.S. If you, Sutherland, read this, do not be offended by the example. It is entirely random and made up. I was bored so I ended up typing about being bored.
