It's All For Charity!

This week is Rag Week here at DCU. Rag Week is all about raising money for charity. Tuesday I went to the Campus bar and donated money and danced with my friends and had a great time. Wednesday night we had a lot of fun! We had a lot of the rugby team over watching the rugby game on tv since my roommate Andy is chairman of the rugby team. My roommate, Tamara and our friend Sally-May learned about the wonders of Fluff and are absolutely addicted to it now! They don't sell fluff here in Ireland, so they're pretty amazed with it...



After the rugby game was over and Tamara and Sally-May were done eating spoonfuls of fluff, we went to the Rag Ball in the student union! It was a lot of fun! One room had a live band, another room had a "silent disco" where everyone listens to music through headphones and dances so it is funny to watch! I was most interested in the 90's stage where one of my favorite bands from when I was little was playing...B*Witched! They were so cool!!



It was really hard to get a good picture of B*Witched because I was so far back, but I had fun anyway!

For the past week I have been raising money for charity and I ended up raising 115euro. Because I raised that much money, I had to go bungee jumping!



This crane was 275ft up in the air!!! crazy!



should the bungee have broken, this big air-filled thing was supposed to break my fall and save me :-/



Before going up I made sure they strapped me in VERY tight!



Then I got in the metal cage to be lifted 275feet in the air!!!



This is me going up!



This is where it got a little scary!!!



After the initial shock, it was actually a lot of fun!



I spin a lot and got very dizzy!

If you want to watch me jump over and over again, my friend Ellen took a video of it!



Altogether, it has been a great week and our campus raised a lot of money for charity!! I've had a grand time all week.

Hope everyone else is having a lot of fun too!!
