With just about everythin I take my time doing things. I hate being rushed, in fact if you rush me I'll mentally charge you an extra five minutes for the extra pressure. My Phys.Ed teacher did not particularly like me. Well actually he did, I always did what I was told and participated in class and actually enjoyed myself but there was one thing that got on his nerves- I was always the last student to come out from the changing room.
Always always always.
He was a very intimidating man, to the extent that some students decided to wear their P.E t-shirts under their uniform in order to save time and not be late. Over my dead body was I going to be doing that! Mind you changing in the crowded girls locker room is not an easy thing to do:
1) Locate Ms.Stinky and proceed to the opposite end of where she is.
2) Unpack what its you tiny gym bag
3) Undress
4) Dress 5) Wear your shoes and tie the laces.
6) Fold your clothes and pack them back in the bag.
I needed 7 minutes to do this, the given time was 5 minutes by the Drill sergeant.
After the first two weeks Drill Sergeant would make me run laps for my tardiness. I actually thought it was fair and because it was a good deal I was willing to put up with it throughout the whole year.
After a few more weeks he gave me 'Afterschool Detention.' As long as it wasn't on a Wednesday I wasn't complaining, because it was the only time I would use a complete hour productively doing homework.
After 2 months, he threatened me with 'In-school suspension' and actually followed through with it. I spent the whole day in the main office in a tiny cubicle staring at the wall for 6 hours. I wasn't allowed to speak a word. I got my first glimpse of prison life then and there.

By the end of the year he gave up on me and granted me my extra two minutes. I felt so proud of myself for following through (not that I had a choice, I honestly just couldn't change any faster!)
When the report card came out, I was left speechless.
He failed me.
He friggin failed me.
I failed 9th grade Physical Education.
Miss athletic tennis playing, travel the gulf for tournaments failed PE.I had an F on my report card.
Three years later as an I'm-too-sexy-for-this-school Senior had to repeat 9th grade PE with the Freshmen. The senior with a bunch of freshmen. (Please take a moment to reflect on that.)
Truth be said, it wasn't that bad. I've never been in a class where everyone looked up to me and took notes on everythin I said. It's safe to say that it was a major ego boost and those kids practically stood in line to take orders from me. And because I was a 12th grade student and the teacher was really amused by my story he granted me an extra five minutes to change. He gave the rest of the class 7 minutes.

Lol that was a neat story! We had to change in the basement and me and my best friend would change under the stair case.. One day we almost jumped clear out of our skins when we found a cat down there.. Good Times.
It is indeed fun to read, i wish they give me 15 min to arrive to class :)
mabrook jan6a.. you paved the way for all the generations that followed you with that milestone accomplishment of yours :) you should be very proud of yourself
I'll never tire from your cutest stories girl! Tennis player huh! Just another addition to your list of fantastic talents...as a fan..this just makes me love you more..you stood your ground and made a difference! You really oughta run for elections girl...I know you'd make a difference!

glad u put it through and finally got your way. i bet u had fun repeating the coarse.
oo shisalfitich nothing to write about except funny stories in ur past, the stories are great, bas yamkin ur current life is somewhat boring :P
You're going to hate me. I'm either first or second at changing XD LOL!
Here's how I did it:
1) Get in changing room.
2) Don't bother avoiding stinkies because you'll be done before their scent hits you -just find a space quickly.
3) Take all your clothes out of the bag.
4) As you undress, hang your clothes if you don't want them to crease or get a large bag so you can skip the folding part and shove them right in.
5) Dress and put on shoes WITHOUT tying them.
6) Run out the changing room then tie your shoes while you wait for the rest of the crowd to finish.
:P
loo0l was that supposed to be a fable? ;p
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
You're the cutest!
But that man is sooo mean. Shyaby hatha? Na7eeeeeeeeees!

Hehe 3ayara you reminded me of an Egyptian teacher we had:
Tawa wa9il min ma9er o makhitha wayed jadd. Ma7ad should speak when he did & never ask him anything ella ba3ad el permission etc.
Ma a6awel 3alaych 7abib el sha3b.. Rabeynah 3adel..how? akher el sinnah the same teacher who tried hard to keep a clear line between (teachers & students) approached me once & with a dim voice said: 3endak sigaarah ya buddha? hehe.

Yazeed: Shoof a7na 3ndna one rule ib hal blog.
1) you do not question what the editor (allah yi6awlna ib 3umerha) has to share.
2) In the event of breakin the rules, you first get a warning, followed by kart a9far followed by 6ard mu7taram ily uhwa kart a7mar.
3) If you think that I have done you any injustice you may appeal your case with The District Attorny - "luckybellybuddha" (allah yikhalee lina)
(this aint DW ily manshoof wela nisma3 win6awiflik mara oo maritain, la ihny in7akmik :p)
The following rules hatha bs itha ur considered a buddy of the blog (and in this case your are) if you were an outsider then ur punishment would be: Al rajim 7ata ilmowt (Saudi style)
3baid: You reminded me of my brother, in 2 minutes he'd be done and it annoyed the hell outa me!! And i hate leaving a place without typing my laces cuz then you get everyone screaming 'oi ur shoelaces are undone' - and it drives me crazy cuz u dont have time to explain to them that ur savin time, so u just say 'ya i know' then they think ur just nuts.

Dear Grand Matriarch of the DW Consortium of Silence (aka Chef B)
(ana wain awady wayhe al7en?)
What I meant to say to fellow top wanderer, future bronze medalist Mr. Yazeed was that over at DW although the authors are aware of everythin that goes on they choose to let things go (yi6awfonlik mara oo maritain). This humble lil green blog is (unfortunately for some) not so merciful and in the event of breakin the rules will stick to its penalties and will follow through with the harsh consequences.
As your slowpoke sistah, I hope you see that there is absuloutely no disrespect to DW :P
-Jan6a, Executioner of the inhumane unforgiving dolma-loving green blog.
Buddha!!Buddy: I'll let you know in the comments section of your mama aneesa post, how about that? :p
Also please accept my sincerest apologizes for not adding the '!!' in my first response. Imsa7ha ib wayhee yal 6ayib. :p

DW is a nicer place :P
Ms.B: LOL! You're too fun! and weyach ana low shinoo ma agayish with DW now. Thats the plus side on being your sole editor, you don't have to worry about your co-author scandalizing people :p
Yazeed: DW is a much nicer place, why do you think its my homepage? Shfeek kila dash ib quwa, moo competition uhoo :P
