the day before the big day

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
That pretty much sums up my feelings. Prior to tonight I can only think of one other situation where I was scared out of my mind.
During our first year in college (oh so long ago) my friend Angie orchestrated a trip to Lodai, California to go sky diving. For weeks my dearest friends and I were excited for our adventure. But, on the big day my adventurous spirit waned. I had mixed feelings about boarding a plane just to jump out of it. The ride up was the worst part of the whole ordeal. We ascended thousands of feet above the ground in minutes; with each passing minute color seemed to drain from my face. At roughly 13,000 feet the plane door opened and one by one I saw my friends fly out into the blue. My instructor (a white haired 60 year old) brought me to the plane entrance/exit where I stared into the sky and saw the ground far far far away. As my heart beat at a rate entirely too fast for normal human beings I closed my eyes and jumped…
