I`ve been a 1st desk student since 10th grade and I have found myself in a situation where I`m alone in the middle row and everyone else has evacuvated to my right and left.

There have even been times where I quickly barged into the classroom so that I could have my precious seat and then found my efforts had been for nothing; everyone took the seats in the back. Their loss, I guess, but it`s all a matter of perspective. For me, it`s better to have the first seat so I can give my full attention to studying the subject and for them it`s better to take the last seat so that they could socialize with eachother undisturbed by the teacher.
