<p>hey guys- 1st post- im a freshman who goes to a private school in downtown houston</p>
<p>ok, despite the fact that i know everybody hates freshman, hear me out for once</p>
<p>ok- my school is pretty rich cause it's private, so our school isn't that into sports, cause everybody's concentrated on academics</p>
<p>well practice for spring track started last week( a little early, but school doesn't think it's necessary to have spring and winter season), and so we got to meet the coach</p>
<p>he's a total ahole- he pretty much just yelled at us the entire time- i would descrbe his insults on the freshman worse than the kids in highschool- cause he didn't just say "i hate freshman" or "freshman suck"- he got really personal- making fun of how kids look, some of the throwers were out of shape, called them a fat ass(and he's the guy who is at least 50 pounds overweight), and a whole bunch of other stuff that i can't really repeat here</p>
<p>so our track has been messed up cause they're redoing it, so they only got the 1st layer(100% asphalt) down by the time we started practice</p>
<p>so im a sprinter, and last year, in the 5,6,7,8 grade division, i took third out of about 250 competitive 8th graders, with a time of 26 seconds while i was wearing spikes</p>
<p>so the coach, being the pathetic ahole that he is, decides to put a qualifying time of 26 seconds, on asphalt, for 200 meters, guaranteeing the no freshman will make the team</p>
<p>This is sooo interesting too, because last year under a different coach, the highschool team qualifier was 27 seconds, wearing spikes</p>
<p>and it's supposed to rain, which will slow me down even more</p>
<p>this is what happens when you can't get a girlfriend or a life in highschool- you resort to immature tactics that are seen as immature as soon as you turn 19</p>
<p>sort of a rant, but what do you think?</p>
