ACLU Opposes Faulty "Border Security" Bill, Propos
WASHINGTON - The American Civil Liberties Union today urged the House of Representatives to oppose a border security bill that fails to properly address the issue of illegal immigration, undermines due process and creates a federally mandated "permission slip" for all Americans. This sweeping legislation has not been thoroughly examined by Congress, and yet could be considered as early as today.
Decisions
I'm 85% sure I'm not going to finish my PhD at Scripps (Woods Hole, URI, still interested in me?). Talking to some people at the Offshore Technologies Conference -- some 70,000 people are there -- I'm told my PhD won't necessarily advance me in my career, and if I am unhappy and have regrets about SIO, it's not worth investing 2-3 years. I agree. I've been unhappy too long. My graduate experience has not been fulfilling. Sure, graduate school is supposed to be tough, but it is supposed to be rewarding on an intellectual level. I haven't felt that way.
Yes, some of this is because I haven't enjoy life otherwise, though I'm inclined to believe I haven't enjoyed life otherwise because I don't enjoy the 9 hours a day I spend at SIO. With my love of outdoor activities, I should love San Diego.
Luckily, I am connected. I know a guy at a semi-startup ocean GIS/Visualization company in New Brunswick; while I'm not saying there are any jobs for me from him, he knows EVERYONE in the field. And now, working for BP, I have real work experience. I can get offers from several oil companies, hopefully one overseas! I'd really like to live in New Brunswick, Norway, the UK, or Japan.
Houston, while I like it, again, I love outdoor activities. Winter does not stop me from participating; I thrive in the winter. I run through snow, I'll snowshoe run, cross country ski, I'll spend as much time outside in the winter as I do in the summer. Houston, however, IS TOO DAMN HOT for a Nordic climate person like myself. Plus, my allergies and asthma are too bad here. Sorry!
If people can pick up that I regret going to SIO instead of an institution on the East coast, maybe I shouldn't go back. It will take me at BEST 2 years to finish my PhD. If I decide to go back later in life someplace else, it may only take 3 years (depending on circumstances). The other part of this is I wouldn't mind going to the Norwegian Technical University to finish my PhD, a 3 year program (assuming a masters) in Trondheim. Since I want to live in Scandinavia for a couple years, maybe this is the best option. Who knows.
