Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

I am becoming more and more confused by this book as we read more. What on earth is going on? While I do not really understand exactly what is going on, I do know that the book is very funny. The one quote that stuck out to me from Act 2 was the one that said that all we are doing is waiting for someone to watch us. In class, we discussed the need for interaction. I was thinking about this later, and as I was thinking, I was watching some people in the hallway. It was incredible to watch the interaction between the students. The girls would keep on doing what they were doing if and only if there were boys watching. The boys tried to act really cool, continuously glancing back at the girls to see if they were watching. It was absolutely ridiculous, but I'm sure I do the same time. We always strive for the approval of others, and I can't decide if I should accept that or be embarrassed by it.
