Shiny Bits

Sorry I've been MIA, it's been busy busy down here. but here is something i wrote a few days ago but never got around to posting! MISS all you!

Yesterday I was in the clouds. Flying at about 9,000 feet. With 7 other people in the shizziest plane that I think may have ever been made. me and 5 of my housemates made reservations with a sky diving company about 20 minutes out of the city for this past Saturday. We drove up to the joint by accidentally pulling up onto the runway, mmm sketch. we walk into the hanger and begin signing our lives away, first up Brock, Stuart and I. they suit us up and rush us into this small small small crop plane. Our divers were hilarious, one was severely hung over and fell asleep on the flight up, another was an alcoholic, and mine, well he was just creepy.

We begin getting higher and higher, amazingly i am keeping my calm, 3,000.. 4,000..6,000 then finally 9,000. Robert (my diver) is like alright it's time, so i climb onto his lap and he begins to buckle me, we scoot to the door and it starts to go up. what was i thinking. *obviously the boys made me go first because they thought i'd chicken out. Up it goes, i swing my legs out into the below 0 degree weather, toss my head back and tumbleeeeeee. free fallin' for 40 seconds. redonk. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Tale: brock's flyer was named, Robert. Before his dive, we turn around and Robert is boozing. took a Shot of whiskey. Haha what the HECK, is that even legal? As we say, TIA.. aka: This Is Africa. orr, TINA: This Is Not America. hehe.

As for today: week 2 of holiday clubs. I have a cold which is devastating when combined with children. All my little babies cough and wipe snot all over me, it's beautiful and adds to the sickness. I've basically given up when it comes to organization in the school. Controlling 30 pre-schoolers is a sick joke. Louise recently joined me in the pre-school section, so basically we just laugh at the kids and let them "gently" braid our hair. We teach them silly games like: 'who can pick up the most shiny bits (shiny bits meaning, aluminum foil)' off the floor aka our attempt at not having to clean up. Pathetic, maybe, TIA. Well have to rush off, Bafana Bafana game starting in T-minus 5.
