>>a lot of my time is wasted

Your time is only wasted if you allow it to be. If they are really doing the babysitting thing then quietly doing your own thing ought to be possible. Especially if you are good enough to keep up with class while doing it. I used to work nights in HS, slept through classes and would be periodically woken up to answer questions get them right and go back to sleep.

You can definitely make the best of it, but there still is a BIG difference between being forced to stay in a building for the bulk of your day, and being able to choose what to do with your time.
