Whenever I am in class and there are long periods of silence (tests, etc.), I create the following scenarios in my head and try to predict how they would play out:
--I suddenly become ill, and there is no time to leave the room. I vomit violently and loudly on the floor.
--Someone suffers a stroke/seizure and no one knows the proper medical procedure to care for them.
--There is a massive earthquake, and the building is not structurally sound.
--A crazed gunman bursts into the room, and either a) opens fire, or b) holds everyone in the room hostage.
--There is a loud explosion heard in the distance (the explosion is not close enough to blow out the windows, but definitely within the city limits, and casualties are a certainty).
