I officially hate dodgeball. It sucks. A lot.

Before you come running to its defense, I have one splitting headache.

So, in gym class we were playing dodgeball. All good, right?

Not really.

In our version, we have 10+ balls. So it really puts the "dodge" in dodgeball.

Anyway, my class has no idea of their own strength, so they all whip balls. High.

I'm tall, so it's a bad combination.

I get whipped in the head, and go to the bench to sit down. Then someone deflects a ball coming towards them, and it hits my head. I go to the bathroom, because at that point I was feeling sick. The teacher suggests that I get some water. I drink a glass, and run to the bathroom again. This time, I throw up.

I call my mum, but she couldn't get me. Then I go up to the nurse, only to find she's not there. Eventually, I go to her secretary, who calls my mum. Mum realizes its serious, drags me to the hospital, and next thing I know its been diagnosed as a minor concussion.

Mum's pulling me from gym for the rest of the year. I can't blame her. After being on crutches 5 times this year + pneumonia, I'm not sure I wanna continue.

If I make no sense, it's because of this. I might also randomly poof off the IRC because I'm throwing up/lying down.
