Howdy

Hey, I'm new here, obviously. My name's Paul, I'm 18 and I'm from the great white north aka Hamilton, Ontario. I'm a first year engineering student, which means I spend most of my waking hours doing homework. I enjoy skateboarding, punk rock, and long walks on the beach. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't really know much of AM! until New Wave (in my defense I was only 15 when it was released), but since then they've become my favorite band. And I'm going to see them on that little Billy Talent arena tour. It's truly a shame that's the only way I can see them here, but that's just the way it is in Canada.

ps. After browsing around the forum, I have a couple questions:
1. What are "cool points" and how does one attain them?"
2. What are the little green bars on the right side of some posts? I'm guessing the plus side is to give a post props and the minus side is the opposite, but maybe someone could confirm this?

I can confirm points number two. You'll see a red bar when you press the minus and a green one wen you press the plus. You can also get a combined bar. That will happen if someone presses a minus and another person presses the plus.

And you'll get cool points if you keep posting. You also get cool points when openings topics.

Welcome!

yay engineering! I'm in my 5th and final year at Alberta

but seriously homework all waking hours? Jeez, I barely do any, but I am a C+ student at best so don't take my advice on anything.

What type of engineering you leaning to?

Alright, so I was exaggerating there, it is a shit ton of work though, especially coming from high school where I could slack off hard. And ya, you're about to graduate, you must be doing something right.

Ya, right now I'm just in a general year, but I think I'm going into mechanical next year. What about you?

i'm in civil and i have specializations in project management and geotechnical design. Yeah I'm done in April but I'm going to go back for a Geology after-degree since I have two years of football eligibility left. What school u at? McMaster? Thats in Hamilton right? I might end in your neck of the woods next year as I am being recruited by Queens and Ottawa right now

Yup I'm at McMaster in Hamilton.
Canadian University football is where it's at, I go to almost all the Mac games
