*sigh* so far this semester, PE has been a major letdown.
while at first, i thought about how awesome it would be to have buncha my friends in the same class where we just play ball..
but then, reality hit me. and it hurt.
actually, its still sore.
turns out, coach farley, the boys basketball coach, is basically the head of the show during 3rd period PE.
yesterday, the class spent about 20 minutes doing exercises. it wasnt too bad, cuz i thought he was just punishing some slackers for not trying hard enough, but then today was a whole different story.
farley started out by having us do 10 jumping jacks. no problem.
he then ventured to have us do various stretching exercises. cinch.
next came the 40 sit-ups. ive got some nice abs, so this was relatively painless =P.
we were then ordered to do 5 sets of leg lifts (lie on your back, put your hands under your butt, and keep your legs 6 inches off the ground). when he said "up," our legs went up, and we had to hold them for a "ten-count", as farley put it. easy? think again. apparently, coach farley's "ten-count" does not take 10 seconds. instead, it is over a minute. he either wants to make our abs explode, or he simply has trouble remembering how to count. personally, i think its a combination of both.
anyhow, after the second set of leg lifts, he said he wanted us to kick our legs, as if we were swimming, while doing the leg lifts. no joke.
so, you can picture how absolutely retarded we must have looked with about 75 people in the boy's gym, on their back, kicking their legs. yeah. enough said.
after the leg lifts were the push-ups. luckily for farley, he only made us do 10. i use the word "lucky" because if he made us do any more, i am almost certain that some of the less-in-shape people would have passed out and sued him for his life.
farley then told us to get on our feet to do ranger jacks, which is basically doing jumping jacks while spelling out "rangers." everyone somehow mustered up the energy to complete the task, but as expected, coach farley wasnt finished with us.
to end the day, we had to jog around the gym for 4 minutes.
either coach farley thinks hes some sort of boot camp officer, or hes trying to prepare us for the next marathon..honestly, i dont know.
