Sports in P.E.

Alright, I’m convinced. School P.E. is only designed to make you strongly dislike the sport with a fiery passion. That’s the only thing you can take away from these units is that this SUCKS! We had a volleyball unit in my school last week, and I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when it was first proposed, but as soon as we started I regret that decision.

I don’t care if you aren’t good at the sport but at least pretend to try. Half-ass it, I really don’t care, but don’t just stand there the whole time and then step out of the way when the ball is coming directly to you. If you’re moving and the ball drops at your feet, because you backed up, I’m no longer worried about winning or losing the game, I’m gonna kill ya! I’m sorry but that honestly pisses me off more than just about anything in that class. And anyone high schooler can tell you that your gym class is the most likely to contain every person you can’t stand, but to make it worse is when no one TRIES!!

I had to ref a “game”, if you can even call it that, and I watched a guy take, I kid you not five minutes to serve the ball. Which, okay, whatever, they don’t play, I won’t be too harsh. But he served it straight to a girl who was TURNED AROUND! She wasn’t even facing the court! She was looking away, messing with her hair and she let the ball drop right at her feet and said, “Oh. Haha, I wasn’t paying attention, that point shouldn’t count.” I wanted to wring her neck!

But I tried not to let it show just how much that bothered me, until the exact same thing happened AGAIN… I swear I was so close to leaving the sideline and stringing this girl up by her toes! (That’s a Texan threat, I’m sorry if it doesn’t make sense). Ugh! I seriously can’t stand sports in P.E.
