I’ve only ever been to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and like the Anaheim area. (Hopefully changing in a few months) but I loved Santa Monica it was also when I was 12 so my judgement could be off.
I had the strongest hate for middle school P.E. I unfortunately had the same gym teacher all three years. It was the worst class. She had torture Tuesday every single Tuesday. So i was always sore, sick or tired. It got better my ninth grade year she became more lenient but it still sucked. We played flag football, soccer, softball, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and bowling. Sometimes on fridays they were random games like scooter soccer, capture the flag, dodge ball,etc. we also had to run the mile 6 times a semester and you had to be under 12 minutes each time or it hurt your grade. We also had track days in the spring and those were a good mix of good and bad.
