Monday was the most adrenaline
filled day of my life. I began at work, but was picked up early so that my mom
and I could go skydiving. The way up was completely serene, and I wasn’t
nervous until they opened the plane door and we had to dangle our legs out of the
side before our tandem guides pushed us into the air. That is certainly a rush
I will never forget. (My feet are sweating just writing about this). After the
jump, we had lunch at Coco Wahwah and I introduced my mom to my two favorite
meals; chicken/avo/tomato trammazini and the chicken/avo/pesto salad. We
devoured both and then headed to the aquarium. I geared up and headed into the
predator tank where I was greeted by six massive ragged tooth sharks. The huge
fish came to greet me and even Yoshi, the giant loggerhead sea turtle, stayed
in place to let me scratch her shell.
Tuesday is sadly my mom’s last day.
We began with taking a short tour of UCT and then heading to Glen Beach so she
could see some more of the coast before she shipped back (to brown CT beaches).
We then walked with Gregor up Lion’s Head and saw the beautiful 360 degree view
from the summit. The weather was perfect and the traffic up the mountain was
very little.
It’s going to be hard to make sure
that I cram in the rest of the things that I want to do while I’m here, which
mostly just involves spending time with my amazing coworkers. Sarah is always
up to something (which I love), and her housemates are equally as chilled. So
we have plans for this weekend for some crazy feat.
Trying to focus on school with the
pressure of the days closing is difficult, but I’m trying to manage it along
with free time and my activist project. Abby and I have plans for surfing
before my activist project on Friday, and then Sunday, I’m finishing up my sea
dives so that I can be 100% PADI certified! I will then be able to dive
anywhere in the world. Yay!
