Writer's Block: Physical Education

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Volleyball. God, I sucked at volleyball. And don't even get me started on how wretched I am at golf. Apparently the gene that made the rest of my mom's family good at golf and golf-crazy (my grandpa used to own a local golf course a few decades back) completely skipped me.

As for other gym class games, I was pretty good at universal Frisbee. And I was on the basketball team for a couple of years, although by the time I actually started getting somewhat good at it I quit the team.

When I was a freshman, I made the mistake of trying to hit a serve by one of the girls on the actual volleyball team with just one hand like some of the more athletic people were doing. I swear, my entire hand bent backwards because she could serve at like 45 mph and my entire arm went numb for almost 20 minutes. *shudders* Course the ball didn't go anywhere near the net after hitting ym hand and dropped like a rock to the floor, which pissed my lovely teammates right off.

Personally, I'm non-athletic and could have done without the whole gym class thing. I did like badminton and tennis though. At least until I got hit in the head with a racquet. That wasn't fun.

Oh, the one time during ultimate Frisbee, one of the guys in my class (tall, broad, muscular) went after the Frisbee at the same time as me and we ran right into each other. He didn't even flinch. I, on the other hand, went flying backwards and slammed my head off the hardwood gym floor. The nurse came running from her office and had a fit because I got up and was already stalking off to the office before anyone could stop me. (I kinda had a notoriously hard head back then. I think I had about three or four decent stories about whacking my head off things and having people think I was worse off than I actually was.)

I actually loved volleyball. I was really good at serving and would have been awesome if they'd given us kneepads. I do not like pain.
Also, indoor field hockey, I wasn't as good at this though. But it was girls vs. girls and our male coach would play on one side if we were short. He'd also provide color commentary. *g*

I HATED track. Basketball largely sucked because I'm 5'2" and I really could only make baskets from one spot, off to the left of the net.

The weight room also sucked monkey balls, everyone would fight for the treadmill and I'd hide in the back so they wouldn't notice that we were just gossiping.
