this weekend i got to go skydiving!! that was the coolest thing i think i have ever done. i recommend it to everyone!!! i didnt do it by myself of course. i did a tandem jump (meaning i was attached to the front of a professional) his name was Julian and he had dreads and was so tall and skinny and he went to CU! he was so funny, i had the best time with him. surprisingly i wasnt nervous, just excited beyond belief! i couldnt stop smiling the whole time which made my mouth really dry because the wind is pretty strong when your free falling at 9,000 feet. the free fall is 30 seconds and you are horizontal or upside down and he was spinning me all around! but then they pull the shoot and you get to float down and see the view which was amazing! you could see the whole coast line. the airplane was so small, i had never been in one that small, it was 6 people plus the pilot all squashed in there. my friend ryan went first and seeing him fall out of that plane and was gone so quickly was so cool to see!!! it was freaky but that was the only part that made me nervous. but as soon as i was out of the plane i LOVED it!! it was the best feeling, such an adrenaline rush!! i got a video and pictures so i'll post some of the pix!!!!!
other than that not much is new. Im sad i missed Halloween. they dont celebrate it here. some people were dressed up saturday but not many at all. i wish we would have gotten to wear costumes. i bet everyone had wonderful costumes! On saturday night 8 of my roommates and i decided to stay in a hostel for the experience and to get away from this extremely crowded house for a night. I've never stayed somewhere thats less than $10 a night. it was.... an experience. the shower was freezing cold and my feet got so dirty just walking around the room. we had to bring our own everything; toilet paper, towels utensils. but it was a good time and it wasnt completely terrible.
but here are some pictures of my skydiving adventure!!! and some dinner nights out with all my friends here whom i LOVE. we have all formed the best friendships and some are leaving sooner than later so we've been trying to do as many fun things together before our time is out! i'll miss them when we all have to eventually go our separate ways.
enjoy! i miss colorado, the snow, my people! cant wait to see you all! Happy November! xoxoxx mad
ps sorry the pictures are out of order.. i still am not pro at the blog thing. i wanted the skydiving pictures to be in the opposite order so you could go from the beginning to end.
