msmithd8769 0 #3 January 6, 2004 Hmmm; let's see, skydive or go to college. Tough choice but one must set priorities and skydiving wins hands-down . But really, hope you are saving at least a little for college....

AggieDave 6 #4 January 6, 2004 You *can* do both, I do both. The only way I can jump is to bust my ass at the DZ everyweekend instructing.

My parents would freak if I dropped out, so no worries. Definitely stick with the college thing... and make sure it is in a discipline you can actually get a job in..... that way in the future.. you can actually afford to do whatever it is that your heart desires. Its a long life ahead.. so plan accordingly...

scotman 0 #12 January 6, 2004 Hey Kim, Glad to welcome you to the family!!! Now that you have a rig THE MAJOR purchase is out of the way. I wish you thousands of great jumps and awesome late night DZ memories girl !!!!! How are jumping conditions in Oregon this time of year ?? Must be COLD about now??

Kimblair13 0 #13 January 6, 2004 Yeah pretty cold right now. last couple jumps from 5K were around 15 degrees. usually don't get snow here in Oregon...but this winter we've had our fair share...better than rain though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotman 0 #14 January 6, 2004 QuoteYeah pretty cold right now. last couple jumps from 5K were around 15 degrees. usually don't get snow here in Oregon...but this winter we've had our fair share...better than rain though. 15 DEGREES ??!!! At 15 degrees I think I'll drive SOUTH for a less PAINFUL jump. I now have about 700 jumps and I have not been in freefall below 30 degrees since around jump 50. Call my a cold weather wimp...but I love the sunshine!! So, what are you studying in school and what do you enjoy outside of the new skydiving world ??

Kimblair13 0 #15 January 6, 2004 Yeah 15 degrees...coldest I've gone is around 10 I think...felt bad for a friend going up to 10K for a tandem on that same jump...0 up there. School...I'm looking towards education or maybe forensic science. We'll see. Outside of skydiving I just like to relax. Into sports...volleyball and softball. Like to snowmobile and snowboard too. Skydiving definately tops all though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best wishes on the studies. Snowmobiles !!! "oh yeah!!! Snowboarding...I wish...I seem to bust my butt too much. Maybe I should give it a chance. Take care...later girl!!!!
