Running a mile

In P.E. today, everyone said that we were going to run the mile and the teacher even said that we were going to since we weren't able to do it on the Wednesday like we normally do it since the temperature was through the roof and it probably would have killed us.

So, since we were going to run the mile, I really didn't want to but after the first lap of following my friend who I followed the last time and managed to get a really good mile score on, I prepared myself to run another 3 laps without stopping.

But of course, this always happens when you prepare yourself, the teacher says stop and that we don't have to do the mile and we only ran 2 laps, half a mile. I felt pretty good but I was kind of pissed off at having to stop right when I had prepared myself to finish the mile even though I was glad we didn't have to do it anymore.

I guess its just the way human minds work. When they give us a lot to expect, we prepare well because we know its going to happen since its been done before, but at the last minute they pull a turn around on us and tell us that it was worthless that we prepared but its a good habit to always be prepared for anything to happen.

All in all, prepare for what you don't know will happen and cover your arse. Or just cover everything and be as safe as possible.
