I can't believe BYU's P.E. requirement was so intense. Know how many P.E. classes I had to take at UMD? Zero. I really don't like bowling either, have never tried golf and don't even know what a mulligan is, and volleyball in gym used to make me want to die. Somehow I used to come out of there with flaming red arms and a bruised self-esteem. My favorite unit in middle school gym was ping-pong, by far.Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693523650451743765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-10941018787931094842009-05-21T14:00:06.364-04:002009-05-21T14:00:06.364-04:00I took that bowling class too!

During one "exam" our instructor approached us and we were supposed to do one of our self defense moves on him. My friend just screamed as loud as she could and ran away. She got an A.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045924575209159571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-86837430182128133312009-05-21T11:33:00.514-04:002009-05-21T11:33:00.514-04:00I guess you're not a total renaissance woman.

My best score was 83... on 9 holes. I think we should play together sometime. We'd be pretty evenly matched.<br /><br />Greta, funny story, I can picture PW doing that.Stephanie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783764064476323204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-15636012390857792832009-05-21T08:16:53.630-04:002009-05-21T08:16:53.630-04:00Huh. I guess they changed the requirement while I...Huh. I guess they changed the requirement while I was at BYU, but before I had to complete the requirement. Would that account for it? I could have sworn it was before I got there, but I guess not. <br /><br />I'd forgotten you had to take that. You shouldn't have taken it so early on in your academic career and held out as long as possible like me. <br /><br />Yeah, I probably woulda sucked at ballroom dancing, too. I don't need any additional attention to my lack of talent.<br /><br />Greta, that's very funny. PW thinks I'm an idiot, too, so don't feel bad. But most likely what happened is she took you very literally. <br />"PW, are you in gymnastics right now?"<br />"No, I'm in your house right now. Duh."<br />I can see her little Amelia Bedelia mind working like that. No wonder she thinks I'm retarded.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024012133951388516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-83286510653161637102009-05-20T14:35:52.942-04:002009-05-20T14:35:52.942-04:00i ALWAYS dreaded P.E. from grade one until graduat...i ALWAYS dreaded P.E. from grade one until graduation. i was fat when i was little so i sucked at everything, then i was thin in high school but just lazy. the only thing i was semi-good at was clogging. yep, that horrible country tap dancing. i was good, but not pretty enough to be in a dress. they made me the "boy" because there weren't any boys. yeah, that sucked.<br />i had asked PW if she was in gymnastics and she said no. when i asked her again, she just stared at me with this annoyed look and said slowly "noooooo." maybe she thinks i'm slow.gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842802120947013699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-9541863430567759832009-05-20T13:24:12.997-04:002009-05-20T13:24:12.997-04:00How is it that you didn't have to take the health ...How is it that you didn't have to take the health class from hell and I DID??? So not fair.<br /><br />Ah, Abby, I wish you had taken ballroom dance with me as part of that PE stuff. Then I would have had some competition for being worst in the class.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723848047273358492noreply@blogger.com
