I'm surprised I even dare...

Monday. Those aren't usually very good. Especially since today, Cristina didn't come to school. Maybe she's sick. Dunno. I might call her later. Anyway, today at school wasn't that bad. I survived the three first classes. P.E. is the one I can't stand, though.

Normally I hate P.E.. But this time it wasn't so bad. Right now we're playing "handball." It's a little like soccer mixed with basketball, using your hands. Today's game was one of the first ones that I actually enjoyed. There were less people, and half of the time the teacher wasn't there, which tends to make the game less stressful. Luan (the goalie in our team) was constantly complaining, though. "Que coisa sem graça" is what he called the game, which if translated into English, basically means how boring! I guess it's because most of the kids (if they like sports) they like it when there's more excitement and stress. But I prefer when there's less excitement, that way I can relax.

He also kept on letting the ball in! At least in the beginning. And almost every time he got a chance to hold the ball, he'd want to make a goal to the other goal, which is all the way on the other side! "I want to play!" he would insist when people complained. He ended up getting only one goal in all the times that he tried. XD

Anyway, it's not like I played especially well today. Even though I did block one ball. We ended up winning in the end.

I can TOTALLY relate to what you're saying about P.E. I had that class back in 9th grade, and then again last year in 11th (I'm so glad it's over with - they only require 2 years). I hated playing all the games, man. Football, soccer, frikking Frisbee (I couldn't catch the darn thing and kept feeling like kids were trying to cut my head off).

Even in baseball/softball, which I do enjoy a bit, I SUCK at catching the ball! But I like batting and even running is OK.

I know what you mean though by wanting to relax more while everyone else wants more action. Last year, when we had soccer that instead of being normal soccer was soccer on they little scooter things with wheels, no one else liked it much. But I did, because it was easier than regular soccer, less stressful.

That luan kid sounds like quite the complainer. Annoying! XD He only got it in once, too, lol. He shouldn've have been goalie if he wanted to have action so much. Goalies just stand there, for the most part.
