| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Apparently, rather than essentially ruin myself physically and destroy what little productivity I had prior to the summer due to my great quantities of physical exhaustion, I could have taken PE over the Internet. That's right. There's a PE class. On the Internet. Unfortunately, I didn't take this excellent, excellent class. "Why?" you wonder? I saw the class on the course list, and naturally inquired about whether or not it would actually count toward my graduation requirement. I was told it wouldn't. Then today I find out that, woops, my counselor made a booboo, and that actually the online PE class was perfectly legitimate. Moreover, the online classes are both cheaper than summer school in terms of original investment and in total costs - they give you some of your money back if you pass the class. For a person who has to take about $200 worth of classes, that's no small boon. My only recourse now is to find out if it's possible for me to switch, even though I'm pretty sure it's not and I'm stuck doing this forced labor bullshit for another two weeks. Good thing I'm not a crazed murderer, because boy would I have the motive. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

| Level: 43 Editor | ... I'm sorry, I can't get past the online PE class. How... exactly... does that work? --- "Allow ME to interject: TFN does not die immediately because you get banned.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | It works through an elaborate system of lies. At least, that's my guess. There is however a "written" element in PE class, concerning muscles and exercises and all that sort of thing; my guess is it focuses on that. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | I mean the "OW! MY BRAIN WAS JUST RAPED WITH STUPIDITY! blown. Of course this is one's first reaction, but for those of us who don't like PE - that is, anyone who doesn't enjoy being forced to do stupid games with stupid people we don't like now or ever, not to mention being forced to run around like idiots to the possible detriment of our own health, and nevermind the fact that if you don't perform satisfactorily on the tests for which you aren't given any preparation you can end up screwing your GPA for no rational reason - the next reaction is "AWESOME!" Burn the counselor. <_< That's what I voted. >_> ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

| Level: 43 Editor | Bah, PE is pretty cool. You get to be outside, there are no annoying worksheets, and some of the games are pretty fun. Like tennis baseball. That was awesome. <_< if you don't perform satisfactorily on the tests for which you aren't given any preparation you can end up screwing your GPA for no rational reason I hope you're talking about written tests. Because, for example, the pushup tests, you got a 100% on as long as you participated, even if you only could do 2 pushups. >_> At our school, grades are based on effort and improvement. so lol at u <_< That'll change once you get out of 1st grade, kiddo. --- "Allow ME to interject: TFN does not die immediately because you get banned.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Bah, PE is pretty cool. You get to be outside, there are no annoying worksheets, and some of the games are pretty fun. I'm the type of person who, in Idaho at least, hates the outdoors during the day in all seasons except winter, is not annoyed by worksheets, and is not a big fan of games. Actually, there are a few games I do like - street hockey or capture the flag, for instance - but I only like those because I'm very capable of quick bursts of energy, and I don't like much else because I'm absolutely incapable of sustained activity. That's why I always play defense. (My lack of enthusiasm for e.g. Ultimate Frisbee and the like is not only because I hate being exhausted, but also because I hate disappointing my team members, no matter whether or not I like them. So, for each failure to, say, intercept a frisbee, I feel crappy.) I hope you're talking about written tests. Because, for example, the pushup tests, you got a 100% on as long as you participated, even if you only could do 2 pushups. >_> Yeah, written tests. You don't need any preparation for the fitness tests where any bad grade the teacher gives you could count as discrimination. >_> ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Only 80% of ours are, so the written tests are actually important, especially if you missed your "participation points" for a day due to an absence. Last year I got a B on the final, which put me into the A range, but I still consider that B to be miraculous. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | I'm not sure if news makes me thrilled or enraged. Thrilled because I'm in the same camp as Ogor about hating PE. Enraged because I highly doubt I could ever use such a thing. --- Never before in history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | They give you all your money back. Oh. Well that's just lame. You should be grateful to forced outside. With all due respect, that's ridiculous. If I were concerned about being pasty and weak I would go out in the sun of my own volition; I don't need the Health Authority to take care of me if I don't wish to take care of myself. Not to mention that (a) running around almost continuously under the glare of the morning sun in 80-100 degree weather is one of the least healthy things you can do and (b) those of us on accutane are forced to wear sunblock, but if we sweat through it on account of the great sums of unusual effort and the horrible heat, we risk screwing our skin more than it already is. PE makes no allowances for this because it's rare that any bureaucratic health measure is light-handed enough to give a damn about the details. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

| Level: 7 Provisional | At my highschool it was based on an average score among which grade you were in. For instance, for an A, you'd have to do like 60 pushups, B, it was like 45. None of this effort bullshit. --- You suck! -Crowd Your mother taught me how! -Kurt Angle |

| Level: 30 Legend | Pullups are painful to do b/c of my rotator cuff that I pretty much destroyed by now but I try to get in about 20 or so at a time. But I can do 20 "chinups" (hands facing the other way) with a 50 lb weight. Pushups I haven't done in a hell of a long time - bench kinda eliminated them. Situps I hate more than anything. It's not the situps themselves - my abs are ok - but my legs cramp up after like 25 so it's really lame. I can do them if they're under like a sofa or something, but those benches with the 2 leg holder things hurt too much. No one mentioned squats - those pwn. You go up in weight so quickly if you do them, but I don't have a gym where I can do them anymore since school's over, so those are put off until college in a month. ___ The bitch is back. |
