Haha nice, that's what mums are for.

Lake louise looks really nice, we're thinking of maybe goin over for christmas this year, but it's my girlfriends 21st around that time so I'll have to be really nice to her for a bit if I've got any chance of escaping for it.

Last year I started goin to xscape a fair bit then got cocky and went for an over ambitious jump which put a quick stop to my snowboarding for quite a while and I've only gone once since.

You must've noticed a huge improvement in your boarding over a season?

That's a good idea, I was gonna suggest a pint at some point. They've got a good deal on at xscape over summer, can't recall what it is atm.

(I wrote an essay too)

congrats on the job! You looking forward to staring? Haha I know that feeling! there's nothing worse than a job you hate.

Nah I never joined, I've always had the intention but just never have time for any of that stuff in uni. Also the friend I've been goin away with the last few years is in Edinburgh so I'd probs not have made it on the uni trips.

Oh dear, not a good year for your friend to be looking for work in Civil Engineering, he manage to get a job?

Halcrow designed the squinty bridge and the falkirk wheel if that helps? Probs still wouldn't have heard their name if you're not involved in the industry tho.

Just thought I would show off that fresh pow behind me

Thanks for the rep mate, good luck with those reviews!

Haha well said!

Ye I know the feeling about having no fun, during term nobody in my course even really has time to work part time, a few did in 1st and 2nd year, but I don't think anyone did in 3rd. So I try to make the most of holidays (even though I need to work full time).

Ye, I snowboard. Used to ski, but boarding's more fun. Was in Tignes in March for a week with a friend.

I'm working for Halcrow, it's a civil engineering company, I'm in the highways department. It's not bad, good pay, good experience and flexitime always helps.

I know how you feel, can't believe how quickly uni's flown in, my 1st day still seems so recent and now I'm not far off graduation

Must've been quite a change from largs to glasgow?

Ye I've lived in glasgow all my life, would've probs moved elsewhere for uni if it wasn't for the girlfriend etc, pretty glad I stayed now tho.

Sounds like a good break, did you spend most of it at 1 resort or move about?

Good call if you couldn't progress, which uni? I'm just about to go into 4th year of civil engineering at glasgow in september.

Gamma telecom offer part time work while you're at uni, or is it just for the summer?

I'd love to go off for a season somewhere, especially after 3 and a half years in the same job, it'd be such a good break.

Oh kl so not that far then, good place to be if working in town aswell. I'm workin over at alexandra parade for the summer so need to travel across the city every day, total pain.

You from Glasgow originally?

A season in canada, nice. Ever consider a job at Xscape or something?

I'm from hyndland, you?

That good that you're hopefully getting somethin else, there's nothing worse than being stuck in a job you hate. One summer I was in a cash sorting place, you just cut open a bag of money and poured it into another bag.

O2, was that at skypark? Heard it's a pretty good place to work. Never heard of Gamma, if they're pretty unheard of then there hopefully wont be too much competition.

Not done till 7th.... no flu yet.... Oh well. Thanks for asking. How are you?

What job you goin for?

Good luck, difficult times to be getting work

(Thought I'd avoid takin the thread off topic)

How your 'Swine Flu' going? Do you feel better now?
