Gym class this Quarter has been amazing! all of the activities have been fun and i cant wait till we are going to start climbing! :o) the only thing that i would say that has been down would be the people talking when other people are! towards the end i would have to say that it has gotten a little bit better but not all the way better! in the beginning it was alot worse though. but again overall the quarter has been amazing! for the trusting part of the class and the activities that we just started i would say that it was hard at first but i quickly began to trust my partners. and i think that the trust part is a huge part of the class. again i say that i cant wait till the climbing starts! and i am looking forward to the next quarter!

I really like this quarter because we got to know new friends. The bad part was that people weren't participating and listening to each other thoughts. But it's good that we can work as a class to achieve stuff. But i really liked the activites that we did it showed us that we can trust other people.

this whole quarter has been great! i didnt know what to expect the first day. but now i see that we have to put a lot of effort. Team buliding is a MUST! i never expirenced this kind of work. When it comes down to meeting ppl & workin with them is hard for me. But now is real easy. Getting to know ppl is amazing!=) i love it.

wow...I can't believe it's been a quarter already. I remember the first week, where we did all of these let's learn each other's names activity. Right then I knew this class was going to be a lot different from my previous classes....and boy was I right. I love this class because it takes a lot more than just fitness, it takes an emotional and social health as well. I've actually loved everything of it. Sure i've been frustrated...I think we all have in some form or another, but each event has made us grow as a class, and I really think that I can trust about anyone there with my life.

gym this quarter had it's goods and it's bads. We've done some really fun and exciting activities so far, but some people just don't care, and it's keeping us from getting to funner and more more interesting activities. I just think that we either need to pay more attention or someone's going to get hurt. For example, you might think that if you slacked off on friday that it would be no big deal. You run into someone, you bump them a bit and it makes no difference, but what if you ran quickly into them and pushed them off the shelf and onto the main gym floor. What then? We aren't going to be able to do anything anymore and we're going to just keep going in a perpetual circle of simple, get to know you activities. We're going to spend our year complaining about it as well. I don't think anyone wants that. If we can get through this we can get to things like climbing and repelling! Repelling is one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever experienced. I went on a trip to europe two summers ago and when I was in Italy I got the opportunity to repel down a 100ft castle wall next to a 200 ft cliff. It really was exciting! Doesn't anyone want to get to that point?!!?

This quarter has flown by. Seriously, it's crazy how fast it's been. At first, I thought all the get to know you activities were really boring and stuff because I had done most of them at some point. In all honesty though, I feel they actually worked for this class. Normally I'm pretty shy, but in this class, I feel comfortable talking to just about everyone. I was surprised how quickly I found myself able to trust my classmates. Such as with the blindfold activity Friday. I had never really talked to my partner, yet I was not shy at all. I see that as a huge improvement on me as a person. Plus I think everyone else is starting to break out of thir comfort zone a little bit. Which is really good! Of course, there have been a few negatives, such as those who don't care about anything we do. It just holds us back which is kind of frustrating. Overall though, I think this is like the best class, and I can't wait until we start doing more and more challenging things.

This class has had its rough patches and the sour patches but its all going good. everyone is more comfortable with eachother and some of the more recent team building exercises strengthened the trust network. We have our own inside jokes and nicknames. *cough* mclovin *cough* i never thought we could suddenly be good friends with people we never met until this year. Keep up the good work ya'll!!! (ugh that word just pains my ears)

p.s. LETS DO THE SAME THING BUT FASTER!!!!!

I thought that first quarter was fun. Roller blading was the best part. I can't wait to get to climbing. I'm kind of disappointed in how many people don't like what we're doing so far. You just have to push forward to get to the fun stuff.

I think this quarter has been very interesting. The activities have been really fun, but i actually mostly enjoyed watching all of us grow and get more comfortable with each other. Some people may not like this class, but i really think it's a good learning experience for everyone.

this is probably the most amazing gym class i've ever participated in! we still have some rough spots that we need to work out. like the talking over other people and people not being able to have their side conversations at other times. other than that this class is so much fun and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. i can't wait to start climbing, it will be so fun. i'm so looking forward to next quarter!!

this quarter has been a lot of fun! really, i'm surprised at how fast it has gone by. although things started off rough in the beginning, i think that we are all generally warming up to each other more and becoming more trusting. we still have a few rough spots that we need to iron out (yes, i'm talking about the general lack of respect that we have for each other sometimes, talking over everyone...) but with time, i think this can all be resolved. we are finally learning to work more as a team, which is really what this class is all about.

I think that we have gone really far since the beginning of the year. Going from not knowing each other at all to being able to complete activities together has really been an accomplishment.
I think the biggest thing we have learned from each other is that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and we have to help each other overcome them so that we can succeed as a group.
I can't wait for the rest of the year. It will be fun to see what we can accomplish together. I especially can't wait to start climbing! :-)

Things seem to be looking up. I mean we're all able to work together and we're now starting to trust one another. I mean the side conversations and listening has gotten better we could be better but at least we are improving. I can't wait to see what we can achieve next courter.

The first quarter went pretty well. At first i thought it would be a horrible class because there are like 10 guys in the class, but it turned out to be better than expected =] Some of the activities were fun and others were not so fun (running). So im looking forward to next quarter and trying new things.

Gym has been pretty fun so far. Some activities aren't exactly fun but I guess it hasn't been too bad. Rollerblading and jump roping were pretty fun. Can't wait to climb.

The past nine weeks have definitely NOT been what i was expecting from out door adventure, but although unexpected, i really enjoyed them. Its kinda nice getting to know people in my gym class compared to the last two years where you know your two or three friends and don't talk to anyone else all year long.

i thought it was a good nine weeks. It was hard at first because some people did not want to particitpate in thee activities that we did. But finally they came around. I like how we work together now.

I really didn't know what to expect when I signed up for outdoor adventure. I only heard that it was a really fun class and I should take the class. The past nine weeks were so different than to what i thought it woud be. We do a lot of team-building activities and it's fun to get to know everyone. It's a lot different than gym class from the previous years. I'm excited to see what we do throughout the year!

so far it has been overall fun, this class still can get along and dosent really work well with eachother but i think over time that we will all come to some sort of understanding that eveyone might not be there favorite person but we need to work together.. i think we just need more time.. but it has been fun, what we do in this class is way way way better than what you do in a boring normal gym.. :)

This first quater has been fun. I like all the activities that we did. But roller blading was the best part so far. I think that the trust activity was really fun because we have to trust each other when we start climbing. I really want to start climbing. I also liked meeting new people. This class is really fun.

I liked how we got closer as a class, compared to when it was the first day and it was like we were all strangers. Even though some ugly happaned, like roller blading, i have to admit it did all bring us together and make us all friends. The qaurter was amazing, and im glad i took this class. It was one of the best i have this year.

I really enjoy this class. I think it's fun getting to know everyone and even the activities that we do are kind of lame I feel we are getting closer as a class by doing them.

I'm having a lot of fun in the class. Some activities we do can be kind of frustrating and some people annoy me because they don't really cooperate or show effort. But some people are becoming more and more cooperative and friendly. I don't feel as uncomfortable anymore as I was back in August. Sometimes I wish we can do something different instead of team building. I want to play more sports.

I think this first quarter has been pretty boring. First quarter we worked on teambuiding and got to know all of our classmates. i'm sure this next quarter will be more interesting though.
