Snyder ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We had to take a year of PE in high school. Sucked. If we'd had some choice as to what we wanted to do (and had a pool) I wouldn't have minded. But it is really cruel to make budding teens run laps in 85 F and sunny and not give them time or facilities to shower! Way to go building appreciation of anything athletic and encourage stink-born mocking by their peers.
Aaaand I back on shots twice daily. Figured it was coming.
I had to take gym the whole time, I'm pretty sure, with a swimming requirement, which actually sucked, due to the 80s hair.
Oh, lord, I'm glad we didn't have a swimming pool. I shudder at the thought. I think our PE was pass/fail or something. It didn't figure into our GPA, in any case.
Hee - Sookie and Michel arm wrestling !
We had gym as a graded class, too. The wording made me think that's not what the kid was talking about though.
We had the same. There were tests and stuff though, not just shooting free throws.
I think he means that the fact he ran track instead of doing homework should have gotten him a better GPA.

Well, that's certainly the way TDS spun it; dunno if it's true.
I wore my hair long and straight in high school, so hair was not an issue. And swimming was the ONE athletic thingie that I didn't either hate or feel self conscious about.
We had to take gym all 4 years, including swimming, and had to pass it, but I don't believe it affected our GPA. Every semester we had to do swimming, track and weight-lifting (I hated the latter two with a passion because of the combination of exertion and monotony) and then did assorted other activities based on weather and grade level (softball, football, dodgeball, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, ice skating/hockey, bowling, etc.)
Girls didn't do football, wrestling, hockey or bowling and instead had aerobics, archery, (for some reason, the school thought giving weapons to teenage boys would be a really bad idea. Can't imagine why) badmitton and tennis.
Back in my day ::waves cane:: gym counted like any other class towards your GPA, a fact which I'm still bitter about, since without it I'd have had a much better shot at valedictorian.
House: Ok, so does anyone else think that Cameron's offhand line to Chase about his daddy spending more time with him was really cruel? Did she just not realize? WTF?
me so dumb....
