Tower of Doom

Tower of Doom

     Well I have to say, living a year abroad is the most emotionally draining thing a person could ever do. I thought high school was rough but here your thoughts and feelings are like the tower of doom (a ride at six flags that is really tall and drops you down). I say that because when you ride the tower of doom first you get all excited and your standing in line, expecting it to be the coolest experience ever and you can not wait to get on. Then you get strapped in and your nerves start to hit and you get a little nervous. As your being pulled to the top you see all the beauty of Denver from the 220 feet in the tall tower, that’s when you feel some peace and are like wow look at where I live isn´t it pretty? Then you get to the top. There is a random amount of time, each time, it hits the top so it is either 2 seconds or 15 and they go by so slow; it is a feeling of pure terror yet awesomeness of where you are. Then you drop. You can never forget the feeling of terror (I feel bad using that word twice but the definition of difference between terror and horror is that ¨terror  is stronger than horror , though it usually lasts for a shorter time¨ and this moment goes so fast so I had to reuse the word. As your dropping your life passing before your eyes and you wonder if you really should have waited in line and taken this ride. But, from down below looking up, it just looks like this fun adventure and you could not miss out. Unlike those other people that did not want to deal with the stress of the ride and the extreme effort it takes to get onto the ride by waiting in line and convincing all your friends that it will be okay and be the best once you finish the drop. At last the end comes, when you hear the ¨whew¨ of the wind going past your ears and your heart starts beating again. You realize that all the wait was worth it and you would do it again any day because you see all those people that missed out. And they left you to go try those other fun rides, but the experience just was not the same. I am still dropping, and i still have the gut wrenching feeling that this ride will never end.

will this drop ever stop?
