Hi again ShadowHM!
Ah, now I see :). The required activities are good, and the healthy body/healthy mind is something I also agree with completely.
As for the sports, soccer is a blast, as is hockey (when you figure out how to play, especially on ice) and for a long while I took tae-kwan-do myself. (Made it up to the fourth or fifth belt, green? I think). Team sports are in my opinion very important to development. Its unlike anything else I've ever experienced myself, especially in high school because there is a lot of school spirit, a lot of teamwork, and a ton of effort. I personally am very competative, and as such enjoy the comraderie, the competition, and the work required in order to say earn a starting spot on a football team. Of course, if they are picking the sports you don't have any say in this, so the point is moot. :)
Thanks for the kudos as well, it wasn't exactly easy but I managed with little sleep and many late nights :)!

Hardcore is the way to play!
You'll find me on US-East, on the account name Baylan (for now, I'll add more as I get my accounts up and hardcore-capable).
