In being subjected to both church and uneducational classes at school I am left with time to hypothetically do things, yet many activities are precluded. As a human being I have finite time yet vast options which I would like to pursue. I consider these frequent instances as complete wastes of time. Yet I remember the stoic teaching about focusing on what you can control. I am prohibited from having my phone (too obviously) or anything in/covering my ears. I would like to read, but the voices are distracting. My rubik's cube is considered too loud. Meditation is also impossible. Any advice/suggestions?

I just daydream. It's likely a bad advice for a variety of reasons, but I find it one of the only options when visual or audial input (books, music) is off the table

When I think too much I either get caught in cycles or want to write stuff down. idk whether that's the best option available.
