This needs to stop happening to me

I had a kid I had never seen before in my life say hello to me today. This obviously means that I have, in fact, seen him, but have since forgotten he ever existed. I really wish that would stop happening. It makes me feel like a terrible person.

I found out at Madeline's birthday dinner that other students in my Asia 144 class have noticed I play games in class. Here's how:

J: "Wren, how did you do on your exams?"
W: "I got a 44/45 on China, and 43/45 on India."
J: "Oh, nice!"
J: "...So, may I ask what game you play every day?"
W: "Game? Oh....you mean in class..."
J: "Well, you do sit front and center. I think everyone in the class watches you play, actually."

I pondered that for a bit.

Today in class, I opened my laptop as usual, but instead of pulling up Wizardry V I loaded Illustrator, chose a huge font, and wrote HELLO J AND EVERYONE ELSE BEHIND ME!

That sat on my screen for a good five minutes, and I heard a few quiet *snerks* behind me. After class, J came up to me and said "I saw your little note. It took everything I had not to laugh very hard in the middle of the guest lecturer's discussion."

I am amazing.
