Gym class = war!

How many of you out there have suffered during high school (or any school) gym class? Just me... well don't I feel stupid. No, really, I'm pretty positive that this is not a rare thing. In some point of your life I'm sure something during gym class has scarred you for life. For me, it's always been when we play soccer.

When I attended Sparrows Point high school in Balt. PA, this kid on my team (we'll call him Bob) went to pass me the ball. Let me just say that we were less than four feet apart. He kicked with his laces! His laces! What do you think happened? Take a wild guess. You've got it... the ball hit me right in the stomach. I went down and all the air left my lungs. How wonderful. The coach sent me straight to the nurse *rolls eyes*

However, this time it wasn't soccer where I was taken down. On Thursday we played football in gym.

We were 3 to 4 (tooting my own horn, I'd like to point out that I'd scored 1 of those 4 scores LOL and assisted in another) when I was passed the ball. Catching it and clutching it tight, I took off running.



I was tagged three feet away from the line and then slammed into from the side. And man, let me tell you, I went down... but I still kept a hold of the ball!

But, don't worry, it didn't hurt. Really, I thought it was very entertaining. Maria, the girl who double tagged me, hugged me profusely afterwards. She's great, a good friend, and an AWESOME football player *grin*

Oh, and that pic is not from gym class. At Blacklick (my current school) I have never once had gym class outside. That is actually a picture (taken by my friend Wiggy) of my school's Powderpuff football game: where the girls play and the boys cheer. I helped the band raise energy in the bleachers, but didn't get to play. I was actually injured. My shoulder was totally messed up (it's good now *grin*)

Gym isn't all that bad... except when we play soccer... which is done INDOORS with a BOUNCY BALL! Seriously, what has this world come to??? HAHAHA

Mom tells me to just stay on the side lines and keep out of the way of the ball, but can you really see that happening? I certainly can't. I've always been a very competitive person as well as an athlete, and I always will be!!! *grin*

I hope all your gym classes are just as fun as mine... but minus the injuries LOL

Until next time,
Stasia
