So you know how when you are a kid, your mom always talks to y

ou about peer pressure. And is like if all your friends were jumping off a bridge would you too? Well ironically after all those years of saying no, I definitely did. I jumped off the bridge all due to peer pressure. (and I'm a thrill seeker, to some extent). Don't get me wrong, Zach. I had lots of fun, I was just sitting in Child Development class, and realized how ironic it all was. Also I began telling my friends about my weekend, and then class started. And my teacher was like "today we are talking about Risk taking, and I want you to think about how you would tell your own children, why they shouldn't do risky things." Then he was like now we are going to listen to President Clark, talk about risk taking. And President Clark talked all about the effects of it. And when he listed the examples bridge jumping was the first he mentioned. haha Not only do I feel spiritually guilty, but I also have a physical daily reminder of my maybe, not so bright choice I made. I have a big hand print size bruise on both of my legs. Now you might ask why I did this, because I'm not a sucker for all peer pressure. It is just when someone, specifically a guy says I won't do something. So after everyone's coaxing for me to jump off the bridge. All it took was Andy to finally say "She is never

going to do it." Because then I did, twice. Darn boys. Its mainly my brother, it has always been a competition between us (except grades, I have always done better at him in school). If he went on the roller coaster, so did I. If I eat a weird fish, so did he. I wouldn't consider either of these risk taking behavior, so I guess I just need to stop jumping off bridges and I'll be good. I think the other factor that made me jump, was I missed out on Sky Diving in Hawaii, and have regreted it ever since. (I also consider this less of a risk, because a professional is strapped to me).
So lesson: Don't do
it. :)
All my love,
p.s. Brother is home, which is super weird.

And now I don't have a room. But I decided to add these pictures because they are kind of cute. :)
