The first day of school, REMIX!
Shouldn’t a one-credit, 8:00am class entitled “Lifetime Fitness” be a lecture course regarding topics such as flexibility, healthy eating, anatomy, etc.? Was I surprised by being tested on the number of pull-ups I’m capable of? Should I have worn anything besides jeans? The answer to all of these questions is yes.
At my college, only the undergraduate portion is all girls. The graduate school is coed. Both have a very small student body. Every once in a while, as I sit in the public areas packed with chicks, a lone grad boy wanders in. He looks somewhat uneasy, tossing his folder on a table in an attempt to seem completely nonchalant, and usually doesn’t stay long.
It’s the beginning of January and the AC in the classrooms just kicked in. I went out last night without a sweater. Does this mean no more snow ever? Because I would be totally OK with that.
The ghosts at the new place have been laying low, probably because I’ve been too tired to pay them any attention, even at their scariest, and once I’m asleep, all of their chain rattling would be for naught.
Thank you to everyone who did the whole Bloggie nomination thing. It made last week THE BEST WEEK EVER!

Sounds much like the unfortunate discovery I made on my first day of my “Fitness for Life” class.
So let me get this straight, lifetime fitness is like gym class? Oh boy.
I had to take a swimming test in my Lifetime Fitness class. UUGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Classes like that should be BANNED in college! Didn’t we do enough of that in grade school?
That’s so much worse the the Geology class (aka death and destruction by earthquakes, volcanos, psunamis, etc) that I once took at 8am. Good morning, indeed!
at my undergrad we HAD to take three gym credits.
I’m not even kidding.
I took african dance one semester. Capoera the next. These are incredibly difficult disciplines.
I spent most of the time sitting by the door with hurt limbs.
Owie! I am completely incapable of ANY pull-ups.
And no 8am 1 credit class should require more than showing up and occasionally opening your eyes.
Did you have to take “lifetime fitness”? Because I definitely would have chosen yoga at that hour of the AM. Which I totally took for my one credit class, as well as ballroom dancing and kickboxing.
My gym class in high school was called “lifetime fitness,” so I would have known…
i love best weeks EVER! thats funny about the lone boy, and yeah, i would hate to walk into a class that ended up being real fitness…haha
I was exempted from my gym class because I was into taekwondo…god, I can just imagine doing it at 8am…
If you lifetime fitness class is anything like my middle school P.E. class then forget about it!
I’m freaked out by the whole AC running and no sweaters thing. I think it means we’ll have snow in freakin’ April. If that happens I will be mad.mad.mad.
Lifetime Fitness? Sounds painful. Especially at 8:00 am.
AC is on already?? It’s still friggin freezing over here where I am. I’m still enjoying my heater!
Lifetime Fitness is the name of my gym!
for what it’s worth, that’s how I used to go to my first day of gym class at my liberal arts college. Everyone knows the first day doesn’t count! Maybe the gym teachers at your school are slave drivers or something.
An 8:00 a.m class? As your elder (I had to say it – :) ) and having been to college, grad school, college again, and law school, I highly discourage 8:00 a.m classes. Ever. It just isn’t right.
I dunno. Lifetime Fitness definitely sounds like a class where you have to do pull-ups to me.
I’d be happy to take all of the snow you aren’t getting because I’m not getting it either and I seriously miss it!
Eww, fitness. That feels like regressing back to PA high schools’ mandatory PE and Presidential Fitness test. Boo, hiss.
K.
Congratulations on the nomination!
Oh lord, I hated doing pull-ups in Phys Ed.
I like college gym classes. I tried my hand at fencing, took step aerobics twice because the teacher was so awesome, suffered through pilates- which it turns out I hate- and did a toning class.
I only wish I had a better physique to show for it!
Huh. My gym is called Lifetime Fitness. And I love it. But I hate pull-ups. I’m sad for you that they made you do them in jeans.
Damn. My GPA would be ruined with a class like that!!
As far as I’m concerned, 8 a.m. classes should never be allowed in the first place.
What a weird idea. Like being back at high school.
Pull-ups? What are these? Sit-ups? They don’t sound like a very good thing to be doing to me. There are rather better ways to keep fit.
