I'm in college, and I was just wondering if it's ever okay to just get up and relieve yourself while the professor is lecturing?

try to hold it through the lecture but if you really have to go and are not trying to just get out of class go. That's what restrooms are for!

I have been to college myself. I never heard of Kissology (the study of kisses) 101. that is pretty funny, but maybe he is right.  Did you know that kissing can be considered a sexual act within itself?  After I read that, I stopped kissing around.  (I am so giggly right now, i have got to go.)

Yes I agree. I'm in a computer class (duh!) and my teacher likes to lecture on and on and on about absolutely nothing. As soon as she starts talking, I try to check my e-mail. My grade in this class is good, but with all the lecturing, I might as well just see my way through the door. which is just in front of me. lol. I have to stay in this class from 8:10 all the way to 9:35 (but since it's a club meeting day it's now to 9:55!) and we have to read books! school policy to help students reading abilities to blah blah blah blah! who cares! absolutely no one (student wise) you'd have to be a true teacher's pet to want to sit through all that. So, did you get my point? lol

Classes no (unless given special consent), Lectures yes.\n\nClasses/tutorials usually have limited numbers, as this is the time where lecturers or tutors will work more closely with students in smaller (class size) groups. This is the time where questions are often addressed where they have arisen out of the lecture - this necessitates a smaller number of students per group to be of any use. As well as this, because numbers are limited, you can imagine the objection of a paying student if their place was taken or their time adversly taken up by a non-paying add-in.\n\nLectures/seminars are a whole other matter, as these rarely max-out the lecture space. I remember when I was deciding what degree to study for, that the student counsellor actually advised that I sit in on a few lectures to get a feel for things.\n\nGood on you for wanting to take your learning further - it's more than many people do

YES its true one good way to do this is when you are urinating try to pee just about a table spoon and stop keep doing this and is will help.\nLamaze classes

In college, you don't need an excuse because it's up to you to learn. They don't mind if you're there or not because it's your loss not theirs. You should've done the work by now. If you're nearly finished you could ask for an extension or you could just hand in unfinished work. You should at least pass for attempting the work.\n\nOr you could say you had a bad case of IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome). No one will question that.

Yes (but it's unlikely teachers actually do give you to much work! Your brain has a pretty huge capacity for work). Apparently drinking water helps avoid this. Take bottled water into your classes.

Hmmm.  Taking a CLASS with a room full of other people would be a definite "experience"  I think I'd be too self-conscious to get the most out of it, but I'd certainly TRY it.  None of us is born a great lover....you have to BECOME a great lover- and the only way to do that, is to learn.

Yes, its better to have a better professor who can teach rather than a professor who is terrible causing you to study a lot more than you really need to.  Usually you can change classes within the first few weeks, not sure about yours, but if you can, then you can try and see if it works, if not then switch to another professor.

What I found worked for me was to only do a short sitzbath after I used the bathroom.  I agree, when I would use it more often or longer, I felt worse.  Once I started to feel better, I would just hop in the shower after, instead of the sitzbath.  Hope you feel better soon!!  It's MISERABLE!!

haha thats the episode with the talking monkey.\n\n\nwell it all depends on you and how seriously you take it. Most people in college study hard and they benefit a lot from it. But I live in the dorms and I know plenty of idiots that just mess around all day, it's like a day care for them.

Yes...it seems you need a lecture...and a good spanking! lol

College is the sh*t. When else can you nap at 3 in the afternoon on a Tuesday and drink Wednesday nights because you don't have to get up for class Thursday 'til 1. And shirk all responsibility. Anyone who didn't like college wasn't doing it right.

Mimi, lol...I think it might be better than having them hanging around the rest of the day with nothing to do.  Some schools do have a policy that seniors can leave after their classes are done to work, attend a voctech or college classes.  GBU

As a student of chiropractic i can tell you that is a very bad thing to do. I know its tempting. The very first day of school i was in my CNS class and i did that to my neck. My teacher stopped what he was doing and told me how bad that was. tell him he is only hurting himself my doing that. that is pretty annoying.

You could do what our teachers used to tell us to do and use break times to go to the toilet!! You certainly shouldn't be putting on weight through drinking less. Try drinking cranberry juice as you can drink less of it and it would help if you suffer from infections and the toilet visits would be less frequent. By the way what university did you get your qualifications from?

When I was in college my dorm had a bathroom.  I only had to share it with my roomate.  Community showers are a little different.  It depends on your school.  They usually have curtains.  The curtain in my shower was about 20 years old.  If you have a community shower then be sure to wear shower shoes.  You can buy a little basket to take in the shower with you so you don't have to sit anything on the floor or use their, shelves.  If you have a personal bathroom make sure to clean it with bleach.  The janitors were actually great about cleaning the bathrooms at my school.  Your's will probably be the same.  Just take some percautions but you don't have to freak out.  It's college, it's going to be dirty!
