Bring with you all a walkman with radio so, if you can hear music from a local station (that you like) and you will pass it a little better. Do something to distract ya. That works with me and my school. When I'm bored and have nothing to do, I write. Everyone is talking, and I'm writing, and I pass my free time in that way (in school).
In this country there aren't part time jobs for teenagers, which is a shame because I want to do something someday.
