Coaches are great but I feel bad for them because they get hurt!!! Man, I love my coaches! The other night at gym one of my coaches and I were adjusting the bars and we were walking over to the next set and she walked into the bar. She ducked but her hair was up high and she hit her head. The funny thing is that it was something she would totally do.

I was in Bio. the other day doing a test and some question about fish came up (it was a problem solving one) and it gave you a list of fish. And pike was on it... which confused me majorly so I sat for ten minutes trying to work out how on earth a pike was in my Bio test before proceeding to ask the teacher and realising its also a type of fish.... I think lack of gym is doing something to my brain :P

so this one time at the gym we were prepping for a meet the upcoming weekend [it was a thursday] and we were on beam with the L4's [i was currently L6]. it was raining really hard that night, as it had been for the pastfew nights, and our gym is really old and isn't high quality. Anyway, Baylee, one of the L4'S, was doing a routine and went to leap and as soon as she was in the air a spot in our ceiling fell through and about 5 gallons of water fell on her and she split the beam! as sad is it is that our gym us pretty crappy, it was hilarious, and she got up laughing!
*we're gettin a new gym in January, so this shouldn't happen ever again!*

So one day at school we were messing around with the soccer ball while some of the guys near us were messing around trying to bench each other (thats when someone standing is pushed over another person on all fours-its pretty funny). Well any way one person was celebrating for some reason when the soccer ball came flying and hit him in the face so hard he went flying! Although it looked like it hurt he was still laughing really hard with the rest of us! The funny thing was...we got it all on tape!
When ever we play soccer, I also always seem to get hit in the face. Its like I am a ball magnet or something!

I feel your pain... I spend PE running away from flying volleyballs, rugby balls, tennis ball and god knows what other type of balls with the PE teacher screaming "Go for the balll" at me for 45 minutes. Why can't we do a sport that doesn't involve throwing or catching?

haha yes. I have no hand eye coordination what so ever and I trip over my own feet like everyday but somehow I manage to do bhs bhs on the beam without killing myself. I should bring tapes of my gym meets for my gym teacher to show her im not a complete klutz! At one meet when we were all getting on the awards podium for awards my team kept tripping on an off and the people announcing the awards were like um maybe you guys should practice getting onto and off of a podium. lol
