  1. I'm in total agreement that it was an amazing course, and such a great experience. I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to go. I can't even begin to describe the wealth of knowledge, and the extreme patience, that all of the instructors possess. They always came through with comic relief at just the right time too. I can't believe how much I learned in just a few short (ha..short ) days. Thank you so much to all involved for a great course! Niki ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  2. Not yet. He still has to kick butt on Monday. Dance lessons in the PROshop alllllll weekend ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  3. a couple of newbie friends of mine and me were talking about how many jumps one should have before jumping video. i know its been on here before, can someone point me to those threads? thanks ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  4. It was great hanging out with you! The advice was much appreciated. As well as your approval of the pink freefly pants ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  5. The advice I got was that it'd be hard to find after a cutaway. ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  6. I freakin love that pic!! Hope the SI run went well for you last weekend ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  7. I have a friend that is interested in doing a tandem jump. The only thing that has stopped him is that he's 270 lbs, and well over the weight limit. The thing is, he's not fat or out of shape, just a big guy (6'7 or so, athletic). Does this make any difference as to whether or not he can jump? Or is he just too far over? If it's a possibility, are there any TM's in the south Florida area that are up to the challenge?? Thanks! ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  8. Federal student loans have a decent interest rate, but you need to qualify for them and they get sent to your school. The type of loan a student would get for "personal expenses" has a much higher rate. You'll end up paying twice the loan back. Especially if you want the loan sent straight to you instead of going through the school, which some companies do have programs for. The personal student loan I just took out ended up having an interest rate much higher than my credit card. Hardly worth it. Lesson learned. Besides, it took 4-5 weeks for the check to get to me. ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  9. I tried, but too windy for students. I've been getting a lot of that this week Boo ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  10. Bump. This thread has been very amusing. Any more stories to keep it going?? ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  11. This is what finally worked for me. Now I just get pissed off when my polish gets gross from cigs. I have yet to figure out a way to take care of that habit ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  12. I did my first tandem 3 weeks ago and felt the exact same way. So, I went and did a 2nd tandem last weekend. It was even better than the first, and I'm doing AFF during my time off from work next week! And yes, everyone thinks I'm insane too. I can't even mention "the S word" without my mom storming out of the room. Oh well, she'll get over it. ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
  13. Procrastination is like masturbation....it feels great at first but in the end, you're just fucking yourself. ~* Quae Sursum Volo Videre *~
