My girlfriend and I are actually planning a trip to my aunt's place in Michigan, then spending a weekend in Toronto just because.  If there are any GWer's between Nashville, TN and Toronto and wanna hang out/get drunk then WORD.

If my jobs contract isn't extended thru the summer, I'm probably gonna spend a month or two on a processing vessel again up in alaska. Probably end up doing a lot of reading up there

fuck you if you get a boat before I do

working long and hard isn't too tough, you get used to it you just gotta really push yourself at first.

fuck what was the link you posted for one of these companies? i had it bookmarked but ive reformatted since then

Ill pm it to you when I get home

wow!! that's good money. Denmark's pretty expensive though...

this is really true, it may look like a lot of money but denmark is hella expensive so it might not really be worth as much as it sounds!

How is it expensive? You stay on a campsite and I'd bet I could find cheap food there's no way the prices would be much higher than here and I'd save most of the money for buying things elsewhere after the work is finished.

I ain't gonna be wining and dining all over the place, I'd live meagre and take my entertainment (books) with me, so I could use the money on something real nice after.

my summer is gonna be pretty hectic. Since uni has pretty much been a walkthrough I dont think I deserve time off to travel etc and just want to get stuck into work. I'm applying for jobs currently to start work in London this summer. Hopefully something will come up, otherwise I'm fucked

I'll just be returning to my usual summer job to help pay for college and to hopefully get myself a few sweet toys in the meantime before the next semester begins.  Also sometime in the middle of that in summer in July I have to attend my brother's wedding, but that is really more of a sidenote to an overall uneventfully planned summer.

Seriously fruit picking was probably the best job I ever had. We picked apples, pears, and grapes for various wine and fruit wines. I loved it. It was so relaxing and IN NATURE OR SOMETHING. I seriously felt like a zen monk when I was picking pears at like 8am and wiping the frost off them. This is a pear. Am I holding this pear or is this pear holding me? We are all pears....

Fruit picking like that would be fun I bet, but I had to spend a summer a few years back in early hs picking strawberries and it sucked gonads

The guys who set up the Introversion games company studied at my university and are letting some undergrads here contribute to their next game as part of a summer internship. I applied for it but I haven't heard back yet. The money's not great but it'll be enough to pay for rent and food so it'd be enough.

Also, what you're planning reminded me of the summer my brother spent in Denmark picking flowers. It does sound really idyllic on paper but it was damn hard work.

how do you get a job in denmark doing that stuff? Do you apply online or something? Are people living in the US eligible? I'll pay for a flight to europe if I could get a gig over there for a few months.

man I should be building my resume and shit, but I'm at the point in my life where I want to do all kinds of adventurous shit like this.

why would you want to pick flowers in denmark?  is the pay amazing?  it would have to be because that sounds awful

to spend some time in the happiest country in the world

i ain't a stranger to that shit

heavy labor teaches you shit son

You need to get some heavy labor in sometimes, it puts things into perspective.

man fruitpicking is pretty bad if you do that as a profession. you might think its cool cuz ur young and wild but brown folks picking strawberries in american plantations prolly think otherwise......

i mean it might be fun to do it for a few months but it sounds pretty horrible as something to do for a living

my town gets real hot when it's summer in the city and the back of my neck gets all dirty and gritty. i been downm isn't it a pity? but there doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city. all around the people look half dead walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match-head.

But at night it's a different world; go out and find a girl. come on come on and dance all night, despite the heat it will be alright
