oh my blog

The first day of class when Mrs. Croker warned everyone that the class was a hybrid and not for everyone I was a little worried. Then she said we have to create a blog account for the class, and I thought to myself " Oh @$#% ". It turned out to be not so bad though. The assignments were all for the most part easy, and I kind of enjoyed some of them. I like that we could all read each others blogs, and make, and read comments. It was a good experience, and I have to say that if it wasn't for this class i would have never blogged. I enjoyed reading about other's experiences and views, and writing about my own. Some blogs touched your heart while others were kind of funny. I even got to hear a good song from a band I had never heard of. All in all it was a good class, and I'm glad I stuck around. Mrs. Croker did a good job teaching the class, and making sure help was there if we needed it.

I had a blast

   For my birthday last year me and some friends went skydiving. It was so much fun. I was with my girlfriend's cousin, my friend Matt, and his girlfriend. My girlfriend and some other people came too, but they didn't want to jump with us. So they went to where we were going to land, and waited there. They had three instructors, and they were cycling them out so one guy would go then two guys would go. Miri, my girlfriends cousin went first with the one guy, then Matt and his girlfriend went with the two guys, and last me with the guy who took Miri. I was pretty nervous while I was waiting on the guy to get back from taking Miri. The guy came back, and we got the gear together and got all strapped up. He told me exactly how everything was gonna go down when we were ready to jump, then we went outside and waited for the plane to come.
    The plane showed up after just a few minutes. I have to say that the plane was a really shitty. It kind of looked like a flying turd, because it was mostly brown. I was a little scared to get in it, and once I was in there I couldn't wait to jump out. The plane took off and the guys was showing me how high we were. We jumped from 10 thousand feet. Once we got high enough he told me to open the door, and I did. 1, 2, 3 and we out the door and free falling. We feel for about 30 to 40 seconds spinning back and forth the whole way. Then all of a sudden the shoot opens, and we were floating. He gave me the controls to the parachute and let me control it. He showed me how to make us spin around and stuff which was pretty fun too. He took the controls back and got us to the ground. I was so happy to make it to the ground. Looking back I have to say, that it was the best roller coaster I have ever been on.
