Internship with Shell Oil in Houston!!
Yes, for those of you who did not fall of your chairs when reading this (or who have already managed to crawl up into your seats again): I, the tree hugger, the environmentalist, the general protester, I am going to work for Shell.
What happened? Well, I got an offer for a really nice internship (as in, really interesting science, or so it sounds) and after thinking about it for about... 1 minute... I decided to do it. The internship being quite well paid didn't hurt either, but was not the deciding factor. I simply figured it would be great to learn something new, get a glimpse of life as a professional, get to know a multinational company from the inside, meet new people and live in a different city. Can't hurt, can it?
I'm starting work on October 1st and will work for them until Christmas, more or less. I found a really nice place to live, with a really nice housemate, today. I'll have a car for the time that I'm there and maybe I'll get a chance to travel around a bit on the weekends.
After Houston, it's the Philippines again, with a possible stop-over in Hawaii. As I've said before, never a dull moment :)
But first things first. Erna, the recently published author of this article in the PNAS, is coming into Ithaca as we speak. She'll stay with us until Sunday. She's never seen Ithaca in the summer (well, late summer) before and I can't wait to show her around... and have some Ópalsnafs with her :)

Sounds interesting to me! (Maybe because my boyfriend is entering the oil industry when starting his first job in February, though ;)) Good luck :)
Thanks! I think it'll be very exciting. Good luck to your boyfriend too :)
