Wumpy 0 #1 September 6, 2008 Sooooo, I am going crazy. I did my first tandem about a month ago, and although I had never even wanted to go skydiving, became addicated and decided I wanted to get certified. I had this wonderful plan of taking out extra in my student loans and getting a refund check from my school, but I apparently screwed that up and wont be getting refund money... Hopefully sometime in the next year I'll be able to come up with enough money to start learning (if I dont wimp out between then and now)! Until then I will continue feeling like an idiot not quite understanding eveyrthing I read about skydiving, and feeling like a stalker reading these forums, hehe. But just wanted to say hi! Also, if anyone has any good information/articles/ramblings about skydiving, I'd really appreciate it, seeing as how I feel like an adict, and havn't stopped thinking about skydiving since I went! Hope to see some of you someday!Beth =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #2 September 6, 2008 ....welcome !!!....and although I don't necessarily condone this advice /debt ( for some things just totally necessary at times) ... a credit card comes in really handy :-) - or just make a tandem here and there as you have the funds for it - just to keep the memory alive....

Do I have to take a class or something to do this? Because it would be awsome if I could do that, maybe learn a bunch, even if I wont be able to jump for awhile! Thanks a bunch!Beth =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wumpy 0 #8 September 8, 2008 I wish I had time to make more money, but I'm a senior in college, overloading on credits this semester, on an ultimate team, and trying to figure out what to do after graduation.... so very busy right now, not alot of extra time. Hopefully I'll find a way soon though... Maybe win the lottery....Beth =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
