Trying but failing to be an overachiever in gym On Friday, my gym class was going to do step aerobics. There was a large stack of steps, so the teacher told everyone to get one. The steps aren't heavy at all, but Fat Girl took it upon herself to "help" everyone out. She hovered by the steps, taking up lots of space, and took each step down one at a time.  So now everyone had their steps for step aerobics, but the teacher couldn't get the workout video to play, so we couldn't do step aerobics (as if you need a video? I'm not sure if the teacher even knew how to do step aerobics?). The teacher told us to put the steps back, so we all went over to re-stack them, Fat Girl feels the need to "help" again. I lift my step up to stack it, because again, it's not that heavy, and Fat Girl grabs it. I hold on, trying to subtly say, "get out of here and let me do it myself", but Fat Girl can't take a hint and forcibly takes it from me. Not really a big deal, but annoying and unnecessary.  After that, the teacher told everyone to go 3 laps around the indoor track. He said, "you don't have to run", so most of the class just walked around it lazily. One kid from the cross country team asked if he could run, and the teacher said yes. Heck yeah, sounds like fun! I started running too, and we had an informal race around the track. Felt great. Everyone else was still on their first lap when we finished. Fat Girl decided to "run" too, because running is a "step above" walking, and she has that conceited "overachiever"-type personality. She was probably going about 3mph and only jogged about half a lap. Pretty strenuous workout, right? She arrived at the water fountain breathing heavily and apparently very thirsty, then slumped down against the wall, "exhausted". Wow, so proud to be an American.
