P.E. and The Run

Sorry I haven't updated my blog!! My internet decides not to work and i've been really busy but here is my next post: P.E. and The Run.

For those of you who like p.e., no offense but here is my homage to those who hate it (like me)

If you think about it, P.E. is blackmail. The message the teachers are sending us is this: You better like p.e. or you fail. Is that really the kind of world we want to live in? Where we have to be blackmailed to get a good mark?? And the people who do get a's in p.e. are suck ups. Sorry, but it's true. I mean, "trying your hardest"? "treating teammates with respect"? "not yelling at the people who suck on your team"? Who would actually do that in any other situation??? It's all fake. I got a b in participation and co-operation and that was me using all of my will power not to yell and scream when SOME people would totally mess up. Even though I suck in p.e., it's still just ticks me off when people lose really easy points or whatever.

And also, you know our class. We kinda fail at stuff. Remember last year floor hockey? Chaim ended up at the hospital. In drama stuff like that happens. DRAMA CLASS!!! And jacob hurting his arm in mat ball. Me and ben with out bloody knees. Division 8 is a disaster waiting to happen. I still can't believe our teacher let us play mat ball considering the kind of people in our class. Even though we are on our knees on a squishy mat being supervised, I'm surprised no one ended up with stitches or a black eye or bruised shins. I say it's a miracle only one of us got hurt in gym this year.

All in all, gym is a blackmailing scheme to get us to "try harder" and not to mention a safety hazard. And then there's the run...

I. Hate. Running. If i don't want to try then i won't!!! I refuse to persevere!!! If i want to walk, damn it, I'll walk. And so what, if you're in the top ten. All that happens is that you're name is put on a piece of paper that gets recycled 2 seconds after the names are read out. And i really don't think running for 10 minutes once a week is gonna get us in shape. No one likes the run. It's pointless. I mean, if you got chocolate or candy for being in the top ten (or top 9 in our class because are class is freakishly small) then maybe people will start trying...

And it's totally unfair at the beginning because some people start at the back of the crowd and have to spend a good 1 or 2 minutes just pushing and shoving people out of the way. And you know what else is stupid? We have to have our times written in our agendas to haunt us all week. I don't want to be constantly reminded about how much of a failure i am at running! On the bright side, at least we're not always being hounded to speak french. It's pretty much 10-12 minutes of free time. Well, in a messed up, weird, div 8 kinda way.

And the way we're pressured to do better, yeah right. They tell us it's about personal improvement, but really it's about bragging rights. ANd they make us feel bad about ourselves when the say our time out loud and when there's people who finished before you, quietly judging you. NOT the way i want to start my day. I don't wanna start the day failing. I don't wanna start the day with people looking at my disapprovingly!!! I say, we should all refuse to do The Run one day and see what would happen. Oh yeah, I'm jealous of Mrs. Walkers class. Their d.p.a. is dodgeball. Lucky.
