Me Jane. Me Tarzan.
This is just a little blast from the summer of 2008 past…
There was this time in my life when I was a high school teacher. I loved it. It was actually an awesome job.
Well, this one time I, along with two other teacher friends of mine, chaperoned a field trip to Costa Rica.
What an amazing country.
Well, I have a fear… of heights. And like, dying.
And I did the Tarzan swing. You know, that thing where you jump off a platform like 200+ feet up in the air into the abyss… Holding onto a rope…
It was awesome and terrifying.
I totally didn’t want to do it, but I also didn’t want to TOTALLY chicken out in front of all my students. Right?
Have you ever done anything you TOTALLY were terrified to do and then right after you were like, “PHEW! That was awesome.” And felt like you just conquered the world?
‘naw mean?
Molly, can I just say THANK YOU for sharing that picture?! That. Is. Awesome.
I was terrified and excited LOTS of times, but the one that immediately comes to mind was riding Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point in OH. Seriously – it was so stupid because I LOVE roller coasters, but the hubs wanted to sit in the front car and I was terrified of having the perfect view straight up into the sky and then straight down into the ground. Dumb, but same feeling!!
hahaha i have no shame. ever. 🙂 i have heard that coaster is scary!! i have always wanted to go there!
What a perfect picture! I’m pretty sure I would be making this same exact face if I did the Tarzan swing. I don’t have a fear of heights, but stuff like this still terrifies me!
hahaha it was SO SCARY. serious!!
I looked exactly the same when I did that in Costa Rica. truly terrifying and wonderful at the same time
hahahaha yeah there’s pretty much no way to look cute doing that. 🙂
I’m also afraid of heights. My school offered a trip to Lake Placid to go on the Olympic Bobsled Track. The first year they did the trip it didn’t work out schedule wise, but the next year it did… and although I worried about the height I knew it was something that I needed to do while I had the experience offered to me.
And it was just about the coolest 30 seconds of my life.
that’s AWESOME! what a great story, monique!! conquering fears is the BEST!
Your face looks pretty awesome in this picture.
And yes, to answer your question…I was totally terrified to push my baby out of my you-know-what. I wanted a c-section SO BADLY. But I did it, and afterwards, I was like, “dang…I rock.”
oh man. i don’t even want to think about that. i’m terrified to do that one day.
