Ok, today in gym we were playing ultimate frisbee. It's like football but with, you guessed it, a frisbee. You play on a football field and everything, some other rule changes to the regular gameplay, great. I played last year and loved it, so I figured I'd try it again this last marking period.
Anyway, we were playing our second game of the day and winning like 6 to 2. I was doing pretty well since I run so fast (I only weigh 122 lbs.) so I was good and chasing the frisbee down and swatting it from the other team.But things got ugly. You see, whenever the frisbee is in the air, there can be as many as 10 players chasing it at once. I was the first one to it, but it was just hovering like 12 feet off the ground. MY mistake was sitting under it and waiting for it to drop…Within seconds, pretty everyone on the field was on top of me, and somewhere in the struggle, someone KICKED me in the foot, hitting my big toe and causing some major hurtage. After some hopping on one foot and blurting out obceneties, I returned to play. I couldn't run nearly as well because my foot was screaming.After that I got to Spanish, and everything was good. We got to work on a "mini-proyecto" all class, so I figured it would be easy. Halfway through, my toe starts THROBBING LIKE CRAZY and I can't concentrate on anything I'm doing. So I go to the nurse, she checks it out and says it's not broke, but I have a blood blister under the nail, which turned into a lovely shade of blue. It was pretty ugly.In the end, I got to go home early, so I didn't have to deal with English class. I guess the pain was worth it [:)]
That ultimate frisbee stuff sounds cool! Must be fun, because you can throw it much further and make it come back by throwing diagonal and stuff. Blood blisters suck tough. :P
Gonna suggest that ultimate frisbee next time I've got gymnastics.Wtf, my reply never took. My internet is far too reliable.
Anyway, it is an awesome game, except for the fact that everyone crowds around the kid with the frisbee, despite the 3-foot space rule. Windy days kinda mess with you though.Sounds cool… Shame about the toe though…
