GRADES!!!!!!

Yeah, Greek is stupid. I like, didnt want to take it. Okay, in summer quarter I got crappy grades because I didnt know how to write papers. So for fall quarter I wanted to take an english class. But, the only way you could take an english class was if you took a FIG. And FIG's are pre-made classes. I also wanted to take math and because I registered so late, there was only one FIG left. The one with Greek. It's only a 3 credit class so it wont fuck up my grades too much.

Math 124 Precalculus 3.7
English 131 Expostition 3.7
Classics 431 Greek Myth 0.7

See that BS? I will talk to him when school starts.

GYMNASTICS CLASS!!! OH YEAH!!!

Thats what I was thinking at about 6:00pm today. Not anymore. I went to my first ever gymnastics class today. I have never felt so much pain and I have done 10 mile runs, in winter, with blisters on my feet. Everything hurts right no and he said I wont feel bad until Saturday? That’s insane. My arms are going to rip out of my sockets. I can barely type this. I popped a callus. I didn’t even think that was possible. *Edit* Due to new knowledge. My callus didnt pop. Skin just ripped off where a callus would be and blood prodceded to come out. I think only blisters pop.
The first 45 minutes were the worst. He started us our with jump roping on the balance beam. Easy enough. Got through it and was thinking, wow, that wasn’t so bad. Then he took us to hell.

We had to do an insurmountable amount of pull-ups. We were scheduled to do around 50 or 60 or so. With a spotter. My spotter wouldn’t help me at all. I was so dead and she would keep saying “Pull, Pull.” What do you think I’m trying to do?! Enjoy the view??!! Somewhere in there is where my callus popped and started bleeding some. I couldn’t even hold on to the bar anymore. I would slip off all the time. No amount of chalk would help me.

The rest of the workout wasn’t so tiring as it was just making a fool out of myself. I can’t cartwheel, I can’t round-off and I can’t do a handstand. The trampoline runway was fun though. At least there were people as bad as I was and my cousin decided to join with me was there giving me support. I really need this too. I haven’t gone for a run since May and I need some sort of exercise.

In the end he punished us again by making us push a mat all the way across the floor 20 times. It’s really not so bad until after half way through. So now, my reward for all of this is two finals the next two days and two portfolios due on Monday. The math final on Saturday will suck and so will revising 4 papers for English. But hey, that’s college for you.

Well im not dead. Just failing a class. Heres my rant

Paper towels totally suck. I have some bad habits and I blame it on those paper towel making rich bastards. When I go use the restroom in public areas, after I finish washing my hands, I have to dry them. And what is always my option? Using the lame ass paper towels. I swear it must be one company getting hella ass rich because everywhere I go, they suck ass. I either have to use a ton of the paper towels, or I have to wipe on my clothes. And somedays I wear nice clothes and I dont want to get them all wet.

So the point of this is electric hand dryers kick ass. They get your hands totally dry. You just have to use a couple tricks. When I go to the bathroom and I see one (which is hardly ever) I will push the little button to get it warmed up. Because when it's cold, it sucks. So you get it warm and then that's when it owns.

But before I wrote this, I used my pal google, and found this kick ass site http://www.exceldryer.com/Products/xlerator.asp That is like the God of all hand dryers. I want to try it so bad. It got reviews back in 2002! WHERE IS IT!? That sucker doesn't need warming up. I can totally see them making a whole body one. If they can just cut down on contstruction cost and energy use. They could even make special models just for hair. It would rule.

NOOOOO My one month Summer break is over!! I went to school today. And guess what? I got homework. Boy does that suck. So of course instead of doing it I'll post in my xanga. My "Summer Break" was very univentful. I wanted to do something like go to the gymnastics gym or try out a martial art but said screw it. So now Im just trying to use the internet to self teach myself. Hasn't been going too well. My front handsprings look like shit, my cartwheels worse, I'm still learning to do a handstand and a roundoff, and just beginning to start learning windmills and flares. And Im such a chicken. Im too afraid to go over backwards for a back handspring or a backflip. I know I can clear a backflip but still too scared to even try one. So im going to practice everyday and hopefully I'll get something right.

Now a back to school rant. I don't understand clothes. Or why so many people fuss over them. I dont understand why things "match" and I have no clue how to differentiate from someone who dresses okay from someone who dresses amazing. I dress in the dark. I buy clothes buy reccomendation. If I could find this stuff cheap I would get a closet full of white t-shirts, black jeans, and maybe a white sweatshirt for when it gets really cold. No labels or brandnames on anything. Just the plain color. Like "Doug." (Does anyone even remember that cartoon?) He just had a whole closet full of one wardrobe that didn't advertise anything. That would be awesome. 

So yeah, Im not dead or anything. Or horribly injured. Not yet anyway. But I should go do some homework. So Im done.

I have a final tomarrow in a class I suck at. Hopefully I get a 3.0 in that class. Man its hard. This fall I will do so much better in school.  At least I better damnit.

I want to talk about Olympics though. Why is swimming all over primetime? Its so boring to watch. They go so slow. Damn. The commentators try to make it exciting but it just sucks. Diving isn't too much better. Falling with style to quote Toy Story. 

Gymnastics is cool. The stuff they can do is just so bad ass. All those crazy flips and stuff. Yang Wei is so cool. That guy is like the King of the Badasses even though that American beat him. That Hamm was good though. DAMN! I just saw his vault. That sucked ass. How did he win gold? LOL. Heres a quote from the commentator "Its over. You can't have a fall like that an expect to win gold" "Hes not going to be the olympic all around champion." "A dream killing (score)" They keep dissing on him too. Its hilarous thta he goes from 12th to first. Crazy. (Edit: Now the commentators are like "Is a bronze possible? LOL")

BADMITTON! This sport is so cool. I saw it on CBC that crazy channel which shows the game with the rocks that really sucks. But yeah, I wat watching it and it was awesome. They hit the birdy ultra hard and then it slows down a ton. Then one the the cheap asses will do a slow shot. Its great. It needs more coverage.
Table Tennis! 90 times better than normal tennis. So intense and fun to watch and actually requires more skill than hitting the ball as hard as you can. Cooler than it was in Forest Gump too.

Now for my rant on normal tennis. Normal Tennis is getting sooo boring. Whoever hits it hardest will win. Or if they have equal power, its who screws up less. Hardly any skill. Im ripping this idea off a person I forgot whos name but its to use wooden rackets. All the persons cheap power is gone. With a wooden racket you actually need a bunch of skill. You cant just swing as hard as you want and win (See Williams Sisters and Roddick)

Now for baseketball. No pros again. If the pro dont want to play, dont let them. Let it be amateurs and maybe some college kids. Some people who have passion for the game.  

I know there are more sports I want to bitch about but this is long enough.
