FITNESS = NO

Might I take this time to remind all of you that this is the LAST FITNESS TEST EVER!!
IN OUR LIVES!!!

Therefore, I will branch off into the larger topic of how utterly pointless fitness testing is in general. I'm sure in reality it is just an excuse for our P.E. teachers to laugh about how slow we are and remember their own glory days, when they ran 5 minute miles or whatever. Hell, I'd really like to see Mike Durand run a 5 minute mile now.

Similarly, does fitness testing even test your fitness? It tests pretty much (I'll sum it up for you) your: ability to rip your hands apart, your useless capability to sprint a mile, your ability to jump more than two feet (yeah!), and previously, the ability to reach past your knees.

However, I'm also thankful for fitness testing. If it hadn't been for this wonderful development, we never would have gotten out of P.E. after five minutes of class. We never would have learned the true joys of being able to do the flex arm hang. We never would have had the opportunity to get an A in P.E.

So I'll leave you with these thoughts: It happened, and I'm glad for it, but I am sure as hell thankful that it's over.

Here, have a scag. I'm so glad fitness testing is over. YAY. It means that we can actually DO something with that period instead of run around a track.

i'm pretty sure fitness testing is what's stopping me from getting an A

though I can't really complain because they are kind of designed for me: someone who is not exceptionally good at any one thing but is more than decent at a lot of random things

Howdy. I was reading your blog, and I noticed you are a Jedi lover. How goes it? I just posted "KoaLa La Land" about Ewoks, koalas, Chewbacca, Matthew McConaughey, and me. Check it out. I think you'll appreciate it.
