Assuming I do a PhD, where should I go?

Weird things happen in this town

I thought I was going nuts the other day, well I probably am but this is absurd! Walking towards downtown from my apartment, a motorbike went by with something colourful on the rider's arm. It warrented a second look and indeed the guy was travelling 30-40mph along the road with a parrot on his left arm! So that was weird!

What's more, the weird stories don't stop there! Many of my devoted readers (who-ever you are) may recall me talking about Professor George Davis at some point in the past. Well he had another cracker of a story today. At graduation ceremonies at the UofA, they serve the usual beverages and food since some of them take most of the day. By the time the afternoon arrives, half the audience is drunk and the other half probably bored with the formal speeches etc. Hence, it degrades into chaos. Tortilla's start to enjoy the wonders of flight across the room aimed not only at fellow students but the professors and speakers! And worse of all, no one really seems to care! I'd love for my graduation ceremony to end up in a mass drunken food fight.

This is the last week of classes here in Tucson, infact tomorrow (wednesday) is my last class before dead day (thursday) when i'll probably be working on Utah stuff and exams start friday of which I only have one (next tuesday) before flying back a week Saturday!

In other news, I've finally got some dates and information about my internship this summer with BG group - one of the leading international natural gas production companies. More information soon.

Laters!
