WHAT IF?!

I can incorporate crew into any school assignment.
crewgirlproblems:
The history of rowing, the physics of rowing, the chemistry of the dirty water I row in, the grammar of a race plan, the psychoanalysis of a rower’s thought process, how to talk about crew in foreign languages, and just about every class discussion about hard work.
