This place is so cool.
I`m recovering just fine from my collsion, although I don`t think I`ll ever live it down: The Canadian that can`t ski. Oh well, count your blessing, right?

Let`s review what`s happened since then

Monday: I worked in House which consists of cleaning, ironing and more cleaning. You get a lot done, but it`s not overly exciting work. I was definately still sore from the skiing incident, and had to go up and down stairs all day, carry baskets. Ouch, but I lived. :) To answer you mom, I wasn`t wearing a helmet, but I haven`t been having headaches or anything like that. I do have a sore spot on the side of my head, but it`s only sore when I pull my hair back or yawn too big. I`ve adapted.

Tuesday: I work in Catering, which was really fun. This was when it started snowing and it hasn`t really stopped since. It`s light snow, so it doesn`t pile up too much, but it`s very beautiful. Anyways, Tim (Caterer) threw a snowball at me. So I waited, and then shoved one down his back (my aim isn`t that good when throwing, so I resort to putting it down backs now). I thought that was the end of it, until the sprayed me the hose....twice....and also put a snowball down my back. I`ll get him, just you wait. I should be glad it wasn`t worse. Last night Rakel dumped the remaining whipped cream on his head, so he picked her up, put her under the tap, and turned it on.....and also drew a mustach on with marker. Still, it was a very fun day, and they always have fun music on, so I love it.

Wednesday: Lynsay and I took the day off, and planned on getting a lot of stuff done. Then we acidentily slept in, so we didn`t get much done in the morning. We then went to the train station to get our half price cards (so all trains, cable cars and other things are half price). While we were waiting, the monitor said that a train to Brig was leaving in 15 min. Lynsay turned to me and said `Let`s go to Brig`. `Sure`I replied, so we went to Brig. Brig isn`t that exciting, but it was very funny that we just went. Getting back a couple of minutes late for dinner (we called, and said we would be), that`s when the whip cream and stuff happened with Rakel. It was a pretty fun day, and by far my most expense yet. (The half price card was 150SFr., but I`m hoping to travel a lot, so it will be worth it.)

Thursday (Today): Today I`m in Kanderlodge, which is a new building that we`re doing construction work in. I was a little worried because I`m still a little sore, but it`s actually a lot of fun. Of course, there`s a lot of jokes, but that`s half the fun. Today, I`m working with India (UK) screwing wood to make the ceiling....so we`re screwing. Funny people.

Tonight it staff-night out, and we`re going Curling. I`m pretty excited. Tomorrow I`ll be on duty, which means I carry around a phone all day, and if the people in reception don`t answer it, I do. It also means I answer the phones and take care of the guests during lunch, and after 6pm. I can`t drink anything, and I have to lead thought for the day. I`m thinking of doing that Ì`m alive, awake, aleart, enthusiastic`song, but we`ll see.

Take care, but to work.
