That's a pretty dangerous assumption.
But - and please correct me if I'm wrong (Ha - like no one would!), I believe that, also assuming you don't bump up against the sides of the holes, and neglecting air friction (and air pressure), you would appear at the opposite end of the hole (upside down, of course), with the top of your head at ground level, then start your descent again, where you would appear again at your point of origin - feet at ground level. But of course, although Physics 101 may let us neglect air friction, the real world doesn't, so each "ascent" up the hole from the center would get shorter, and yes, eventually, your body would be stuck at the earth's center, burnt and compressed into a tiny, unrecognizable, dense cinder.
Of course - that's all theory - if you've got the shovel and the time, go for it.
