Saved by...three girls :D

I just had my first sports class, and we were choosing the packages of sports that we would be doing this year. I chose volleyball, archery and combat, which means that I'll be doing each of them for one-third of the year. I wanted to do archery last year, but I think I didn't choose it because of another sport that has to go with it. So this year, seeing that the sports that go with it were okay, I decided to grab my chance (I did volleyball last year and I was completely lousy, but it was kinda fun as well :P)

But it wasn't that easy to grab the chance; there were too many people who wanted this package as well. Only 22 people were allowed, and there were 25 of us. One first-year girl was sent to another group (they said that since she was in first year she'd still have time to try these sports... ouch, that must hurt) but there were still too many of us (and all in 2nd year, so no excuse to send us away), and since no one wanted to leave, the teacher said that we would draw lots, and someone (who was it? I wanna kill him...grr...) suggested that we race instead. And the teacher agreed! (Hey, I did running as a sport last year, and I was always the last!) I knew I'd be gone if they did that (short of a miracle), but thankfully a few girls decided to go to another group, and save us the running. Whew!
