November 17th. got weathered out over Thanksgiving break, have exams on Monday that I need to study for this weekend, and have to study next weekend for finals. So it'll be another two weeks for me, at least. And I'm gonna miss Chili Party.[:/] I really wanted to compete in the tiny bike races.


Kinda funny story about Thanksgiving break (or "Fall break" to maintiain U of I mandated political correctness): I went down to SDC the day after Turkey Day even though it didn't look like I was going to get to jump because, and I hate to say it, I couldn't stand spending another day cooped up with my relatives. So I didn't jump at SDC because winds were nuts and loads with only 7 people on them were still putting people waaaay off of the airport. I ended up talking to this rigger, and he was telling me "this one time, this chick wanted to do a pornstar exit and kiss me in freefall." And I was like "Cheryl?" and he was like, "You know Cheryl?" That was funnier while it was still in my head.

P.S. This crappy story made me think, what is the minimum number of degrees needed to connect yourself to every skydiver on the planet (i.e., I've jumped with x, x jumped with y, y jumped with z, and so on), like Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon? I'm betting it's really low.

P.P.S. I promise to avoid the stream of conciousness writing style in the future.

P.P.P.S. I do believe this is my longest post ever.
