Why Does Time Seem to Fly When You're Having Fun?

Imagine you're playing your favorite game. You're so focused on the action that you don't notice how much time has passed, it feels like just a minute, but it's actually been an hour! That's why time seems to fly when you're having fun. On the flip side, if you're stuck in class and the teacher is going too slow, it feels like forever, that's when time drags on.
