AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Tuesday, October 21, 2008


Well, on tuesday we had our Sports for Life program thingummy. In the first half of the morning we had archery (Yes, archery! Real arrows, not the suction cup tipped ones! Yeah, we were so excited! Wow, you must be really envious, aren't you?) and after that we had self defence.

Firstly, archery was overrated. I mean, we only got to shoot three arrows at a miserable target that was a few feet away. And I only got the blue part of the target. God knows where the other two went.

But at least our class had at least eight expert archers so we won the "competition" since we shot all the four balloons first. With only ten arrows. (Not to be ungrateful or anything but it figures, a rare competition we win and we don't get anything.) They gave all of us (including the other classes) these pencil-arrows that from afar looked so much like arrows I thought they were giving out small little darts. At least I got the only blue one.

And then we had self defence, which to me was something of a joke. I mean, all they thought us was common sense, stand with your feet apart, bring your hands up just like you're going to box but open them so that it looks like you want to surrender, and that sort of thing. Pretty boring, if you ask me.

For Infocomm we drew up a banner that "made no sense", played hangman and watched half of "Cars". And that was the fantastic Tuesday. Tomorrow we'll be getting our PPRs back. I hope I still maintained my Over 70% record and got into stretch class, or there goes my "good results" present.

~Today in History~
1944: The city of Aachen falls to American forces after three weeks of fighting, making it the first German city to fall to the Allies.

~Quote of the Day~
"All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters, either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don't ever let up. Don't ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain."

- One of my favourite speech makers, Georgie Patton. Though this time it's not that funny, but still.
