When you have downtime, how do you spend it? What free time? Between sleeping, eating, training, going to class, studying, and having a long-distance relationship, I barely find time to brush my teeth! When I do have a spare moment, I’m either with my girlfriend or watching a bad reality TV show on TiVo.
Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
I’ve been hang-gliding.
I’ve gone skydiving.
I’ve owned a Jet Ski.
