How to skydive
It made me
 "Absolutely Amazing"
How I did it: I was lucky to get a rain check for a jump from one of my friends. Simply made the appointment to jump and went and did it. Highly recommend the experience. Lessons & tips: Even if you are scared of heights, you should still do it. I am scared of heights, but once you are at 14000 feet the height experience is gone.

kurnugi is setting goals :)
It made me
feel free
How I did it: In Poland it cost about $300. It was a present for my birthday. It was on my Bucket List so I decidet to do that. It was really easy actually. It took a week from the decision to realisation cause I prefered to jump during the weekend. The worst moment was at the plane. It was possible to jump only when you don't think of what are you doing. Read how I did it…

It made me
feel accomplished
How I did it: The hardest part was finding a coworker who also wanted to go. Once I found that it was just arranging the date to go and finding a reputable jump school. It was a good time...great accomplishment, but I went tandem and so it was not the adrenaline rush I thought it might be. I suggest AFF--that's my next jump--advanced free fall...you pull your own chute in that one. Read how I did it…

Amazed
How I did it: Randomly, I just decided to go after a friend mentioned he went. Everyone else bailed, but my roommate and I still went.For Atlanta, the two big companies are Skydive The Farm and Skydive Atlanta; both are roughly the same price. Skydive the Farm was a cool place, with people who have thousands of jumps under their belt. Look for places with good reviews and cool people, and it'll be a blast. Read how I did it…

YEAAHHHHH!!!
How I did it: My cousin invited me to go over one weekend. Me and four of his friends went. We waited for like three hours to do a five-minute jump but man that five minutes was so worth it! And you have no idea how satisfying it is to be able to talk about skydiving in the context of having done it before. If you have the opportunity... do it! Read how I did it…
Robadjuster is Yeah,
It made me
How I did it: I finally decided I was going to do it. I researched some places and decided on one. Made my appointment, and went and did it!! If you get delayed by weather, like I did, just wait around. It is worth it!! Read how I did it…

Can't pull out now!
2 weeks ago
I said yes to the friend who put the idea in my head, paid my deposit, and am taking two friends on a road trip… they don’t know that I’m jumping, they think we’re just going to support the birthday girl. Boy will they be surprised!
I’ve put myself down for the dvd / pics too… it makes it very expensive but I figure I will regret it if I don’t. I want to be able to brag!
Can’t wait.
I’m terrified. :)

By the end of the year I will have registered to skydive for The Miscarriage Association by June next year. This charity is important to me because I recently suffered an early miscarriage and their support helped me realise it was not my fault.

Indoor or outdoor, i just want something to make me feel free. Somthing to say that i lived my life to the fullest, and it wasn’t just another assortment of wasted days. And i’d love it if i could take a friend up there with me :] so we could let gravity pull us toward the earth at dangerous speeds.
And i’m scared of heights, so i’ll face the fear :D

The Psychology of Excitement
4 weeks ago
A recent review in Psychology Today has provided useful insight into my own make-up. I wanted to know why I would even want to skydive, mountain climb, and crave risk when I spend my days helping people manage risk. The theory is that the pursuit of danger is the only way to protect the inner force America was founded on, or to define the self. . .the inclination to take high risks may be hard-wired into the brain, intimately linked to arousal and pleasure mechanisms, and may offer such a thrill that it functions like an addiction.

25th October?
1 month ago
I keep trying to book this but it keeps being put off!!! The people in the skyline office are really bugging me.
I was told they’d find out immediately (on Friday) if I could go on the 25th, but they’ve still not sent me a confirmation email!! Very frustrating!! But hopefully it will still happen. :)

The Time is Near

Okay, so the weird part about this goal is that I closed it out (“gave up”) several months ago, thinking that it wasn’t necessarily at the top of the list of things to do, but rather something I always thought about in the back of my mind as eventually doing. This weekend, Groupon (a site that utilizes the power of collective buying to get great deals) offered an amazing deal on a tandem skydiving flight and my boyfriend and I decided to go for it. Soooo…we bought the Groupons, and are just waiting for the perfect time to schedule our skydive. I’m really excited, and not nervous at all yet.
