Absailing

Today I went absailing for the first time ever. My uni has done this try any sport activity like climbing, surfing, archery etc. for free. So me and a couple of friends signed up to do absailing. we had to travel to this activity centre which was in the middle of a forest. Anyway I'll skip the boring part... it got to my turn and I didn't want to look down so I slowly moved to the edge backwards. The guy hooked me onto the ropes and stuff and told me to lean back. Anyway, I'm scared of heights, terrified infact, so I really don't know why I signed up for it in the first place but I just froze! I felt so stupid because I started to have tears in my eyes and shouting I can't do it! Anyway, with a little... no wait, a LOT of persuasion and encouragment I overcame my fear and did it, I absailed down a 45 foot wall!!! yay!

Also today I did some laundry! Only problem is I'm not allowed to tumble dry any of my clothes so they're all on hangers and dry from the curtain rail!

Freshers week is over except we have the freshers ball tomorrow night. I'm sad in one way that it's over but relieved also because it was tiring me out! Last night though me and Danielle (a girl who is in my halls) decided to have a chilled night and we watched a chick flick in my room and some Friends which was really nice, just to lay around in jogging bottoms and a hoody!

Anyway, before I go here's a few photos I've found from freshers week...

    Ok it's come to my attention that I can't spell abseiling but neither can Gem in my defence :p.

    Also abseiling makes no sence it sounds like ab ceiling to me and that is stupid. To sail down a cliff on a rope makes much more sense.

    Ropes and sails are like peas and pods. I so should have had a hand in the making of the English language. I'd make it understandable.
