I’m not like them…but I can pretend!

Today was the first day of our two day week of school. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all of us are going to some camp for a retreat. I go to a small school of about 95 people, so we can do that kind of thing. I’m being given the impression that it won’t be very much fun, however, because its going to be very structured and we are required to do many of the activities that are “fun”. Fun is relative to the person, and I don’t think that the “leaders” at our school understand that. Yes, they can be cool at times, but most of the time they assume everyone likes sports. Yes. I’m ranting about sports. Apparently everyone likes sports, or at least according to them everyone does. Why can’t they have some non-athletic activites for us who don’t like sports? The only activity that is accepted as a sport that I like is volleyball, but only BEACH volleyball. And don’t go throwing in all those complicated rules. I only play for fun, and I highly doubt that at this place we are going that they have a place for beach volleyball. Even if they did, there would be a whole bunch of pesky rules. Yes, there should be at least some, but the whole lifting thing should be thrown out. Some others too, just to make it easier for everyone and more fun. Anway, I won’t be able to post for two of those days [Wednesday and Thursday], but I’ll be back Friday afternoon, so everything should be g-o-o-d. It appears as if it is almost time for me to venture off to work. So long, for now!
