Getting Ready to Bungee Jump
Thursday, March 17, 2005-12:34 PM
St. Patrick's Day. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself to go bungee jumping. I imagine myself walking to the edge of a platform, counting backwards from ten, and jumping without hesitation. It doesn't seem so difficult from the edge of my bed.
I'm trying to incorporate the lessons I learned skydiving into bungee jumping. The most important thing I remember from that experience is not to tense up when you jump.
So far I haven't experienced any of the anxiety I did before I jumped out of a plane. Maybe it's just because the free fall is so short (only a couple seconds). I probably should be worried. Everybody says bungee jumping is much scarier than skydiving.
God willing on Sunday, Natasha, some of her friends and I will make it to Baiyun Mountain.
