Skydiving (The Before Post)

Well, spring break has officially began and to start it off with a bang, I'm going to free fall 13,000 feet above the earth! (Before the parachute catches me).

I thought I would write a before post because, an hour before I'm supposed to leave, I'm here totally freaking out.

I wasn't always nervous...in fact I wasn't nervous at all up until about 3 minutes ago when it finally hit me that skydiving is really just a nice way of saying "plummeting 13,000 feet to Earth and pray your parachute will deploy".

I was supposed to skydive first thing this morning so I wouldn't have any time to really ponder this insane thing.  But, it was raining all day up until now.  (May I note that I am currently in the sunniest place in New Zealand and they hype up the fact it almost never rains...and yet the day we come and have plans it pours all day....)

Somehow I was all gung-ho about this whole thing this morning but as time creeps closer I'm noticing my heart rate is a little elevated and I cant stop moving my legs. Nevertheless, I'm sure it will be a great experience...or so I keep telling myself!
