Schlumberger, Chevron-Texaco, Rio Tinto, Cleveland Cliffs, Newmont and Asarco are just some of the geology related companies that have been on campus this week. The list is huge and it really puts Leicester's careers efforts to shame. They also like taking people out for dinner aswell, which is awesome! Honestly, who could refuse free food from the likes of BP, schlumberger and Chevron. Whats more, weve got Conoco and Exxon-mobil coming in monday/wednesday of next week respectively!
So its a busy time sending CV's here and there, trying to convince people that i am remotely employable and would really like to do more than perfect my coffee-making skills. Lets see what happens! I might even get so far as to tea and biscuits!
In geology related news, a "new" meteorite crater has been formed in Peru. Measuring some 30m across and 6m deep, local residents report seeing a "fireball falling from the sky" before impacting with the ground forming something of a tourist attraction. Ironically, people have falling ill due to the poisonous waters and gases which now fill the hole. But still they return!
And finally, yet another exam of America's gun crime problem. A teacher in Orogen has sued for he right to bring a gun with her into the classroom. What kind of kids does she teach???
Assuming I do a PhD, where should I go?

Careful Paul; all these associations with racing teams and oil firms will have us thinking that you want to be the next Bernie Ecclestone!
Look; just because im mixing it up with the biggest companies in Hydrocarbon exploration and happened to set up F1 in Primary Schools doesnt mean im going to end up like Bernie Ecclestone! I can think of many a reason:
1) Im not short enough
2) Im not that arrogant
3) .... I cant think of any more...
