My Rant for the Week
I hate people who don't try.
In summer school Gym, we have to do about an hour's worth of power walk/jogging/running and then we go back to the school to do our daily sport (soccer, football, badminton, whatever). Lately, we've been going to the Hotel MacDonald and climbing the 'Thigh Burning Stairs of Death!'
Anyways, Gym was pretty rough the first few days, when I was a little flabby and not used to high-intensity workouts. BUT, I handled it one day at a time and slowly got better.
Yeah. There are some people in my Gym class who don't try at ALL. I can understand if the class is hard (it's not like every person in that class is a marathoner, although there were some people who ran up and down the loooong flight of stairs TWICE. I just stood there wheezing with my water bottle and thought, ZOMG), but we're not being marked on athletic ability, we're being marked on EFFORT.
If you want to walk instead of run, that's perfectly fine. But try to show some effort - don't just slack off and stroll the whole walk, don't sit off on the sidelines when we're doing sports, don't do the least amount of work, and then stand around looking like you would rather swallow acid then be here (trust me, I know the feeling - it happened to me the morning of Day Two of Gym, when I pulled myself out of bed and cried inside). You know what, life is challenging. You've just gotta learn to suck it up!
*deflates* Okay, sorry. Onto GOOD news! On Saturday before work, I want to go to HMV (maybe I'll bribe Bri to take me) and buy movies!
Guess which ones I'm going to buy:
1) Desperately Seeking Susan
2) Fallen
3) The Dark Half
What do they all have in common?
...Robert Joy, of course! Seriously, I love that man. Now, if only I was a few decades older...and he was, you know, not married. *sigh* A girl can dream, right?
I feel so hypocritical. Here I am ranting about people who don't put in effort, and I'm sitting in the office at work, wasting time while my poor friend takes people's orders. I should really get back.
I'm still trying to figure out this darn journal...how do I make it so I DON'T screen comments?
Anyways, I better go help Kristjaan...it sounds like there are lots of people out there....
