Worried About 9th Grade

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus
I'm good at running and tennis. I'm great with defense in basketball. I'm a good catcher in softball. But other than that, I suck at sports.

You could take up knitting. Some say that's a sport.

Then do the ones you are good at.

I could use a new merkin.

Don't sneeze at running.

I got half my college education or better paid for because I was "great at running." Ever tried long distance?

And if you get good enough to pull a letter, it won't make you an instant hero like the QB would be, but it does give you some immunity. Kids mostly leave jocks alone, even the nerdy ones! You might not be popular, but you won't usually be picked on either.

I found that ad. Seems a bit suspicious...

Sounds like a football (American, not British) player in the making to me.

academics first. Ladies will come a decade from now, when I have a career.

Then you're missing the point.

Don't let life pass you by while you dream of tomorrow.

Tomorrow doesn't always come. Absorb the experience

The Masonic RFID chip transmits your vital signs to the NSA which then sends out ads that match your current emotional state.

Quite simple.

I'm a straight A student. I want to keep that until I'm finished with school and have a career. Then it's time to check out the ladies.

Holy crap. Augustus Confirmed!

This is called a softball.

I could hit that set up out of the park nine different ways.

Whoa whoa whoa. Then why did I see a "date an Arab woman today" ad? I wasn't feeling romantic at all. I was feeling scared, afraid, nervous. Explain that! Make it "quick to the point, to the point of no faking"!

a reply to: lazyfortress

Naturally.

Whaddya mean "naturally"?

I'm mainly worried about gym class and kids in general.

What worries you about gym class? Is it the physical aspect of the class or getting shoved in a locker?

Could be the part where the gym teacher makes everyone cram into the far corner of the shower naked...

Did you just quote Vanilla Ice? No wonder you're worried about high school.

It's called wisdom gained through experience.

Listen, or dismiss. What the hell do I care either way?
