^That reminds me. My freshman year lab partner would write stuff on my book cover all the time. She'd draw little pictures and funny stuff, but she'd also write "Nicole loves Whoever." I'm not kidding, at least once a week she'd grab my book, scribble out her message, and write a new one with a different guy's name. I wanted to tell her to stop trashing my book cover with her stupid love affairs, but she was a nice person otherwise.

I know! I have a friend who doodles on EVERYTHING. It's not words, but she draws animals. And I like having my notebooks neat and clean and it drove me insane how she'd just reach over and cover my paper in doodles.

I doodle on my paper a lot. When I'm supposed to be taking notes, I just draw all over my paper instead.

I know it helps some people concentrate, but I can't stand it

It doesn't help me concentrate, actually. It helps me ignore the teacher...lol. I still get all A's, though, because I always read my textbooks. I just don't like listening to teachers drone on and on...

Me either. I had a professor of Middle Eastern Politics who just sat in his chair and talked for the entire hour. No discussion, no Q&A, nothing at all to break up an hour of monotanous speaking. Not even voice inflection. There are some people I don't mind listening to for a long period of time. I can listen to NPR for the same amount of time, or I can listen to my cd of allen ginsberg reading poetry, or I can listen to stand up comedy or podcasts, etc. but there was just something about the way he would just lecture for over an hour and while the subject could be really interesting, he just took the fun right out of it.
I ended up sharing the notes from a friend, we would each take have an hour and bluetooth the other half to each other because it was SO boring.

Some are quite unrealistic, like Logan. I can't imagine a 13 year old boy being as sensitive as Logan is supposed to be nor can I imagine a 13 year old boy being able to put up with Mary Anne's sensitivity.

He's well-known in his field and all, but the subject itself didn't interest me in the first place, so to have an unengaging professor really killed it for me. I got really good at ipod touch scrabble and trivial pursuit.

I've always thought the boys in Stoneybrook were wayyy mature. I only wish boys could be like Logan...sigh.

They seem immature now as an adult but thinking about it, they were probably average in maturity for boys that age.

There was certainly a wide spread, from Alan Gray to "I pick up my girlfriend in a horsedrawn carriage and take her to French restaurants" Logan, but on average I would say they're more mature that real boys that age!

^ Logan acts way older than thirteen. He acts like twenty five. ;D Like real thirteen year olds would pick up their girlfriend in a horse-drawn carriage and take her French restaurants.

^ That's more like, a newly wed couple. Riding in a horse-drawn carriage and eating at French restaurants, not 13 year old.

^ You're right about them acting like a newly wed couple. Their relationship is already so serious at thirteen. I sometimes wonder how their relationship would be if they did get married.
In Mary Anne Vs. Logan, on Valentine's Day, I remember Logan making Mary Anne a special dinner. He gave her a rose and kisses her on the cheek and all. That's a VERY unrealistic thing a thirteen year old would do.
I remember in New York New York, Quint (who is ELEVEN) "tipped Jessi's chin and gently kissed her". Most eleven year olds in reality still think girls has cooties.

Logan started a food fight in SS#2, so that's at least one example of more realistic middle school boy behavior!
