    <content type="html">&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 6px;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you take a class or attend a big meeting, where do you prefer to sit? Up close or way back where you can make a speedy get-away? Can you force yourself to focus even when you're not interested?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/misc/latestqotd.bml?qid=1093"&gt;View other answers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually want to sit near the front and far from the exits - near the exit if I have to leave early, but I rarely do. As for paying attention, I have trouble when I'm sleep-deprived, but boring material is rarely an obstacle: you can always treat it as an anthropological expedition when all else fails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=packbat&amp;ditemid=270436" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
