What the???

February 2009

Ok - so Austin has realized that in order to get out of gym and still get a good grade, is to be injured. So, he needs a medical note, right? Well, from September 2008 to December 2008, he was in gym 50% of the time, and still got an A. How do you ask? Well, first, he compressed his wrist playing soccer (isn't that the sport where using your hands are illegal?? well, not if you are goalie - which he is very good at unfortunatly!) that was pretty bad - 4 weeks in a partial cast and brace and LOTS of x-rays. Then, he broke his finger playing soccer (stop playing soccer!!!) another 4 weeks in a partial cast and brace because he broke it down the back side of his hand. Then comes the latest one. He went snowboarding (which he loves and is pretty good) over the February Break (our winter break) in Massachussetts and came home with this...

which turned into this - the following day

Another 6 weeks of no gym...
unfortunately, gym is his favorite so he was actually really bummed about it. But, getting a good grade by doing nothing - he loved that!
