You think regular college is tough? Try going to school for architecture. Im lucky if i sleep 15 minutes in 3 days. literally. Its horrible. But who sleeps really its so out of style

Having my 4 wisdom teeth removed was the most painful thing i have ever had done.

Its usually just easier to do a few in a row because after the first one you feel good about it and just keep going.

Ya I know besides the architecture program that is the main reason i want to go there. Ive never even lived outside of NJ so I'm a little bit nervous about it

confusing to say the least. The reason I ask is I study architecture here in the US and I am thinking about transferring to a school in BC. So you are telling me canadian architects and architecture students dont use these? http://www.artsupply.com/alvin/scales19.jpg

I understand that in Canada the kilometer is used on road systems, etc, but what other units of measure are used in Canada, specifically BC? Do you use the meter? Yard? Foot? What about for architecture and building plans? I would assume the foot, since in England the KM is also used but so is the foot. Wow, confusing.

Im going to college during the week and im thinking about packing during the weekends to get money to jump. It sounds like a plan to me anyway.

How is the skydiving in vancouver BC? It seems to always be raining there. Do you get much time to jump? What months are the best for skydiving here?

N/A

She would be hot if it wasn't for the red hair.

I get panic attacks frequently at school because of public speaking, but I have never had one because of skydiving. I wish I could give some advice but once it hits you there really is no way to stop it.

Never realized how spoiled I am to pay $22 for a ride in the super otter to 13'500.

Just did my water training today along with 9 or 10 other people

Very cool. But still, its not like engineers know what art is. Leave the art to us architects ;)

Really who cares. I only have 25 jumps so I can't say I know anything but I guarantee there are skydivers out there with 300 jumps who have more responsibility and are better skydivers than some people with 1500 jumps.

Totally fake, but they did a great job with it. I don't necessarily believe in UFOs having never seen one myself, however I am sure that there is life out there somewhere. It's virtually impossible for there not to be.

What do you think about Maine? Is it possible to hike for 1-2 weeks without doing the entire 281 miles though the state? I know its supposed to be some of the hardest hiking though the entire thing but I think I can handle it.

Im trying to plan a hiking trip for next summer on the AT but Im not really sure where to start. Anybody have any experience here? Tips, suggestions are very welcome!

Anybody who states that Bear spends his nights in a hotel is a moron. Period. Ya, I'm sure in the middle of the freaking amazon rainforest he hops in a jeep, drives a hundred miles to a hotel, spends the night, then drives back the next day and starts back over where he left off. Same thing for the Australian outback, Moab desert, hawaiian lava fields, and any other place hes been in. Even if they were just filming it hollywood style, the most they would do is set up a tent for him after the cameras shut off and give him some food or somthing. Hotels. What a joke. Get real people.

Survivor man is a terrible show. Besides the fact that he is boring as hell he rarely gives any useful information. He also doesn't show you anything about getting out of the situation, which on the other hand is the entire point of man vs wild. The the whole point is to keep moving and get out, not just sit in a cave for a week. Bear Grylls all the way.

How did they get set up with that gig?

I love work that requires detail, however what I don't love is helping bitchy customers. So Home Depot, fuck off.

Well I had another thread titled, "Home Depot" explaining how I was fired and now have no money to skydive. Boohoo right. Anyway. I was just wondering if anybody out there had any cool job ideas. Im sure some of you had some fun jobs at one point and Im just looking to maybe hear some stories or ideas! Thanks!

Tell them you were caught directing customers to Lowes. Sounds like a plan!!!
