Petroluem de Grand Bretagne

You'll have to excuse that poor french translation. I was having a conversation with a friend about todays BP presentation and it descended into a series of ludicrous french accents and sayings.

So BP are coming into the department today, looking to recruit people and generally show off their business. I'm rather hoping to get some work experience next summer off them or similar companies who are coming in over the next month (Schlumberger, Rio Tinto, Exxon-mobile and Barrick Gold to name a few!). It should be awesome! BP are taking "interested students" out to dinner at the local Marriot aswell. I'm not sure what they mean by "interested students" but im certainly interested in a free dinner!

We had our first Regional Tectonics lecture with the actual professor yesterday (he was away the first 3 weeks so they were done remotely) and it has to be said he's a rather uniquely weird guy! So much so, he's got his own box on this blog (look down the right: "Ducea randomness"). He comes out with some class remarks which it seems are intended to keep you awake in his lectures. Anyway, check them out.

Wildcat Rugby Club (The UA squad) are recruiting and im thinking of joining. Ive been 5 years or so out of the game and have had the urge to go back for most of that period. Theres a meeting tomorrow so ill find out more. Its a multi-national squad aswell so looking forward to bashing some Aussie's about if i sign up!

S'all for now, got some more fun fun Geochemistry to conquor!
