My essays were not my foremost priority after watching the latest episode of "The Amazing Race". It was annoying to see Mika unable to slide down a 200-foot water slide because of her fear of height and water. Has she ever seen previous seasons of the show?

A task involving heights is something I look forward to whenever I watch "The Amazing Race". In fact, I had trouble finishing my essay a number of times whenever I thought about it. My favorite is the bungee jumping task in Switzerland during the fourteenth season of the show. I also enjoy the skydiving task in Hawaii during the sixth season. This is something I yearn to do, but I don't have the time (and the money) to try it. Maybe later.

That's why I'm pissed at Mika for letting go of what is undoubtedly a thrilling task. I won't mind doing it a hundred times if I were in her place.
