Okay, Lucy, do you mind looking up what they call PE in college (if you can access the course catelog or something)? Otherwise just ...keep reminding me I guess...

Nick soon dropped by regularly for math, along with Mike, who came for the conversation. It could be said that not much work got done between the two of them but everyone's happy so nobody really minded. It didn't take that long for the three to develop a friendship and the following soon became established facts:
That Mike was Not A Geek, the most pop-cultured in-tuned of the three, and also the crankiest save for the odd moments when Zach, seized in one of his black moods, would rival him for cynicism.
That Zach was the quietest and the most logical, with enough of the perseveringly present reasonableness that could drive his friend up the walls (and have, on various occasions), and had a sense of curiosity only second to Nick.
That Nick was, beyond reason, the most optimistic and most people-friendly of the three, not to be trusted around buttons and switches of any sort, and shared with Mike a distinct lack of patience that usually made Zach laugh and groan at the same time.
And all three of them had their own various streaks in their nature that made them a bit stranger than the rest of the college population. Or, as Mike would say, made them "special. Special ed."
Aside from that, there were various other, somewhat more minor factors that was sorted out as the three got to know each other better.
For instance, Zach and Nick took it upon themselves to try to persuade Mike that sleep-deprivation at the level that he was going at was not healthy... with mixed results. Sometimes Mike would go to sleep slightly earlier, sometimes he just vented at them and stayed up even later than usual. Either way he would have to be fed up with them to carry out his action.
Nick and Zach took their chances because, as the two agreed, fifty percent was still a better chance than what you'd normally get on multiple-choice tests. However, they were always careful not to talk about Mike's Sleeping Habits and Mike's Eating Habits (because there were some issues about that, too) on the same day.

I really should give it up as a lost cost, huh? :-p

Couldn't really find any PE-resembling classes in UCLA, but there's tons in DeAnza. They are indeed called "PE [insert some number here]" but also have "real" names like "Yoga" and "Karate".
Seeing as Kate and I had to edure yoga every friday in PE you could use that ;) If Yoga is a bit too out of character for them, you can use Karate because it's something boys are more likely to want to take.
..dude, i'm scrolling down the list and there are A HELLOVA LOT pe classes in deanza.. http://www.deanza.edu/schedule/classes/schsearch.html Wowww, they even have archery.
Uh, "Aerobic Walking with Hand Weights" anyone?
