...when you go on to a bus??? ...when you enter a classroom for your first day??? i've heard many people say that it is a shame that blacks are the first to head to the back of the bus and back of the classrooms after everything the people came before us did just to achieve the right of being able to do the opposite - be at the front... personally-speaking...when i get on a bus...it really depends on my destination, how soon i'll be getting off, etc. etc....but for the most part...i do tend to go str8 to the back... even in classrooms....that varies too...but usually, i'll try to get one of the back seats...or seats furthest to one of the sides....it's just hard for me to be in the front or middle... and this is why... and i could be wrong...but this is for me... i like to see everything that's going on....i don't like the idea of people being behind me....even when i'm walking with my friends - if it's a group of us or even just one other friend & they're behind me....i'll stop long enough for them to either get in front or beside me... I want to be able to see everything...be the observer...not the person being observed...that's just a big preference of mine and for the type of person i am... & also...as far as sitting in the back of the classroom is concerned....most of the time, i end up making better grades than those who sit in the absolute front row anyway....i mean, i feel that if you KNOW that you need to be sittin' up at that front in order to make your grade...then go for it...but i zone out a LOT in class...write in a notebook...draw...mess with my phone...have a "when in tha hell iz this class gonna be over?" expression on my face....tha whole nine...so i just feel it is always best for me to not be up at the front with all of that goin' on...especially if i can do all of that & none of it really reflect on my grades ultimately.... but anywayz....

When I first go into a class I try to sit somewhere in the "T" which is the first two rows across and the middle two columns. When I get on the bus I Sit in the furthest seat back because I like to be able to see everyone.

First off, I'mma have to disagree with whoever said that. We fought for the right to sit wherever the hell we wanted and not to be forced to sit in particular section. So on that note, I go STRAIGHT to the....::thinks about it:: When I get on the shuttle I sit in the VERY first sit.. but on the bus its straight to the back. In a classroom, the opposite side of the teacher, but usually in the first two rows.
