The sentence that should be revised to replace a boring "being" verb with an action verb is:

"I was so bored waiting for my brother to pick me up from drama club."

A revision could be: "I felt bored waiting for my brother to pick me up from drama club." or, to enhance the action further, you might say, "I grew increasingly bored while I waited for my brother to pick me up from drama club."
