As a student? I am on my school's debating team, the student representative council, have been involved in school musicals and sporting teams (soccer and softball) and am a part of the "writer's club" that was introduced last year. I'm wondering what activities the rest of you out there participate or participated in when you were in school?

I was pretty much into sport when I was at school, so used to be in the athletics team. I wasn't much good at sprinting, but I could manage all the long distance events so I did cross country too. I remember doing one cross country competition in the snow. Brrrrrr! There weren't many people who finnished, apart from myself and two others from my school who ran together. But at the end they decided that they were going to disregard the result & rerun the event at another time as not enough people had completed it. I was SO furious!! Just because other people dropped out, why should we have out results disregarded? They had the same opportunity to run as we did. That must have really affected me for it to still be sticking in my mind all these years later!

That's SO unfair. I would be p*ssed off if I were you, too. They should have postponed the event to begin with, if they were going to make special allowances for the people who didn't complete the event. That makes me angry =P

I was convinced, at the time, that the judging committee had kids at one of the other schools.

What instruments do you play? I used to be in the choirs, but I've never been a very good instrumentalist, so I was no good with that side of things. Thanks for your response =)

That's actually really cool and interesting that you were more into the technical clubs. Don't apologise for no sporting teams, I'm not all that sporty myself. I used to be, but now I'm more into just laid back walks etc, rather that team sports with rules etc =P

You had fancy dress competitions at school?! Oh, that would be fantastic, I would be so good at that =P The only time we get to dress up is for school plays or if we have a themed dance, but that's not quite the same. I'm glad that I could bring back pleasant memories to you, Pree =D Thank you for sharing them with me, and have a great day.

I love debating it, unfortunately we lost our debate yesterday =( We did a good job, though and I suppose that's all that matters =) and that we have a good time of course =P It's always fun to compete against other schools and meet new people =D I really enjoy doing the theatre/music side of school, anything creative is usually a lot of fun. I hope you continue to enjoy life as a student, and long after! =D
