  2. Because I might be pointing out to someone who they are, or I might love what that person is wearing.

  6. I've never felt that it was necessarily ok to sleep during a class. On the contrary, when I do I feel really guilty about it because I know I'm being disrespectful to the professor but sometimes I just have an overwhelming urge to sleep and I can't keep myself from closing my eyes. There was this one class where I slept on a regular basis (english) just because of the timing of the class. I always found myself yawning uncontrollably and I just couldn't stand to keep my eyes open. Maybe it was because it fell at the very end of the day and I was just ready to leave? I don't know. Sometimes you just have to sleep.
