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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

Aillean, I think you got your "s" and "i" swapped up on that post.
ETA: And of course she fixes it in a crosspost and makes me look crazy.

I don't know, Ailleann, I thought he was being kind of a jackass, working his way up to a nice speech.
Since when do doctors treat patients, especially sixteen year old girls, without a nurse present?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Strega, I love this line:
All things considered, maybe instead of worrying about radiation, the people of Jericho should test their water for lead.

You know what is amusing? Every time Mister Kitty spends a day at the vet, he comes back sleepy. Now, you'd presume it was from the stress of all the other animals, car rides and whatnot. Except...every member of the staff still there came to say bye to him and tell me how cuddly he is and how he likes to be carried and....He get worn out by coddling all.day.long.
