This morning was in
sane...we woke up and walking down to the harbor...a van came and picked us up to take us to the bungee jumping site.. I woke up thinking "What the heck have I signed up for??? This is a horrible idea." I even looked up the percentage of people that die each year doing it.. It has the same risk as driving at 100 mph...2 in every one million people die.. Before hand everyone was freaking out..I was really unsure but I paid and made the trek u
p the bridge. I was one of the last ones to go...(which is surprising considering they go by weight...they weighed up and called us up there one by one. I was the second to last to go...and I was so scared....watching everyone else go, they were all pretty afraid...but I was petrified...we were so high above the water....it made me want to cry. They got me all strapped in to go and walked me out to the launch pad...as I was walking I was fine and then I looked down once I was at the edge and I started screaming and telling the guy how I didn't want to go anymore...he yelled at me a little bit telling me that I wasn't allowed to look down...it was an awful situation. I straight up said I didn't want to go a
nymore..i didn't care if I got my money back or anything...it was way to high..I have never been so afraid in my life... It was easily the scariest moment ever. I walked away and felt a little wimpy that I was the only one who didn't go, but in the end I am so glad I didn't.. I don't want to do something I'm not 100% about. Everyone who did had an awesome time but I walked away such a happy person. Everyone was like, I don't blame you...the hardest part for everyone was jumping..and I felt like jumping off was going to be my biggest fear...but I just couldn't climb that mountain...and honestly I don't think I will ever go back into that situation again. Most of the people have already gone skydiving and I think I could do that. YOu have a professional strapped to your back...and that professional says you are going regardless of anything you are thinking...plus you don't have a falling feeling in your stomach because you are going so fast. I am going to try it in a few weeks and I am pretty excited!! I was pretty shaken afterwards but once we were back on land I was over it...I went back to the room and
took a nap... Tonight we went to Sky City and went to dinner. Sky City is in Sky Tower which is the giant saucer looking tower in the middle of auckland. Its the tallest building in the southern hemisphere....we went up and had an excellent dinner at the orbit restaurant. It spins just like the one in San Antonio or Dallas.. it was a beautiful night for dinner and we were all there to say our last goodbyes to Aaron. Aaron is the only other person who goes to Tech thats here...its kind of funny because no one else here goes to the same school. (the pic is of Aaron giving his goodbye speech) Overall it was a great day...even though I didn't bungee...I got farther than most people...I put on the harness and climbed the bridge!!!!! Whether that sounds lame or not...I am going to look at it that way...because if someone asked you to go bungee jumping...would you say yes?????
