swimming. --<3

I hate swimming.
Especially in school.

I do not understand why it is a REQUIREMENT
that all students take swim class unless given a doctors note.
Most kids just make up an excuse for the doctor to sign the note.
It's ridiculous. No one wants to swim in the disgusting pool.

& I got a 66 average one quarter in gym just because I did not participate in swimming. Because it's disgusting. And 20 minutes is a lot of time to get ready, I guess. But not long enough when you have to take a shower and all.

Especially if you have swimming first block. Then, you have to walk around all day smelling like chlorine. I think swimming should NOT be a mandatory unit for gym class. It's gross and disgusting and not fun at all. It brings down a lot of people's averages who are trying to achieve good academic standing.
Well, most guys do swimming. But like...70% of girls do not.
So, what's the point of swimming if basically no one does it or actually wants to do it anyways!?

body art.--<3

Tattoos and piercings are very popular these days... but is it really worth a permanent mark on your body? In my opinion, I like tattoos and piercings. I think they are a great way to express yourself. I only have my ears and my bellybutton pierced but in a few years, I want to get a tattoo.
It is important to think about your motivation, options, choices, and the consequences of body art, however. You may think a tattoo is really sweet...but a year later, you might hate it and now it can't be removed. It can also be dangerous. You should talk to people to seek out information about a tattoo shop/piercing place before you get it done... infections from piercings and tattoos are VERY dangerous and could sometimes even result in death. You should also think about the reactions you might get from certain people. Some people may not hire you in the future for a job because of your tattoos and/or piercings. I would also make sure that the place I was getting my tattoo/piercing done was extremely clean. Because dirty places are obviously more prone to result in infection. In my opinion, body art is a good thing and I would not discriminate someone against it. But some people do. So everyone should consider whether or not it would be worth it.

sports.--<3

There are several sports I enjoy watching and several sports I enjoy playing. There are also many sports that I dislike.

I enjoy watching football and hockey. My favorite hockey team is the Buffalo Sabres [Duh!]. But I do not have a favorite football team. I also enjoy watching basketball. But I rarely watch it on television. I mostly just watch our school team's basketball games.

I enjoy playing a lot of sports, too. My FAVORITE sport to play would be softball. I have played softball for five years. Two years for Alden and three years for the Lancaster-Depew League. I love the game of softball because it is fun and good exercise. My favorite position to play is 1st base. I play 1st base most of the time but i occasionally play right field or catcher. I also enjoy playing volleyball but not on a school team or anything. I mostly just play volleyball at the beach with my family when we are on vacation. I am a cheerleader, also. I do not really consider cheerleading to be a sport. But I do enjoy cheerleading and it CAN BE just as difficult as any other sport.

Some sports that I hate watching are track and field, golf and tennis. I find these sports to be rather boring. Sports that I hate playing are bowling, football and swimming. I hate playing these sports mainly because I am not good at them. So I do not find them interesting at all.

What kind of sports do you enjoy?
