Thanks matie, my mate loves them so I'll borrow some of his shiz.

Boys II Men.

I remember in like a 7th grade lip sync contest, my friends and I did "A Song for Momma" by Boys II Men and "Tearin' Up my Heart" by *N Sync.

We were so cool.

If you're into metal check out Majority Rule, they would be a good starting place.

[QUOTE=srt-4;13610851]well, i can't really give you specific recommendations, a lot of that depends on how strong of a college you realistically expect to get accepted to. also, you are going to need to decide what you want to do within political science. its a really diverse field. some schools are better at one field than others. most schools require you to take at least a course in each of the major fields, but leave you a lot of freedom is choosing what you will focus on. just a few examples of the fields are political theory, comparative government, national and state government, and of course the one i have spent almost all my time in, international relations. if you are wondering what the classes are actually like for some of those, let me know.

also, there is this division within political science between quantitative and nonquantitative approaches. who heads up the departments will be a strong factor in determining which one of those two the school's program is focused on. the quantitative approach focuses on data and mathematics. i took the one required class on that and hated it. it was all about surveys, statistics, poll data, ect. i much prefer the nonquantitative, like what we talk about in here, where we don't focus on the mathematical side. for instance, that article i posted is political science, but the polls you see on tv predicting who will win an election are also political science.

also, you will probably need to decide which one is most important to you, engineering or political science. in most cases you will have to decide between schools that are better at one than the other. if you are going to get a graduate degree in one of those, that will also matter. on the one hand, you would want to look good coming from a strong school when applying to graduate school. but at the same time, and to me more importantly, the graduate degree will completely overshadow the undergraduate. so if you get good grades and good test scores (gre probably), trying to get into the absolutely best regarded program for your undergraduate might not be that big of a concern. like if you were going to get a masters in political science, maybe pick the undergraduate school with the strong engineering program.

so think about what you will want to focus on, and what your grades and test scores are probably going to be like. let me know and then i'll just ask one or two of my professors what schools they recommend. they will know a whole lot more about the actual quality and focus of the political science programs at different schools than i will.[/QUOTE]
Political Theory and International Relations are probaly the two fields I would be most interested in, I would most likely choose to stay on the non-quanitative end, I love/am pretty good at math but I would hate dealing with it in that kind of setting you described.

I'll look into eventually which I would prefer to focus on but for the sake of discussion lets say I would prefer Poli Sci. My grades are a pretty steady B average, I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet but that's because I'm just waiting to have the correct maths out of the way, I've taken a few practice tests and they were rather easy but that was before the writing test was added in so I'm not sure.

If I chose it as a career path I would like to focus on International Relations (foreign service) eventually working into a high level job in the State Department, Ambassordorship, or working in an International Body such as the ones I mention in our discussions.

Thank you by the way. :)

as far as career plans go, if you want to be an ambassador, you are better off going into business, making millions of dollars, and then giving a lot of money to the guy's campaign that will end up being elected president. the chances are very slim of being promoted up to ambassador as career foreign service. and with the wto and world bank, for the most part you would be better off with economics degrees. there are opportunities at the UN, but few are connected with the US. most will be working for the UN secretariat itself. that might be your best bet, if you still hold the views you do now. because in bureaucracies there are a lot of politics invovled, and you would find yourself on the outside in the state department with the views you hold. on the other hand, they would be welcomed at the UN. but you can deal with that in a few years. your worldview when you are 21 will probably be different than it is now.

next time i see a professor i had who used to work for the state department, i'll ask him for some advice, and i'll ask him and some of the others, if i run into them, about schools that are particularly good for international relations but without the ridiculous selectivity of the ivy league schools.

Dude. Ew.

I've been listening to this band Television. They're pretty chill.

Belle and Sebastian sucks.

Television is f[I]u[/I]cking ripe.

Their guitarists are ace mother f[I]u[/I]ckin' pimps.

And by that you mean they're "ok", right?

I mean they rule

Television is boring

They're dec. Television is a pretty easy to listen to band, though, if you're baked.

As far as their musicianship goes, they're alright...

25,000

Their guitarists are probably one of the best duos in history.
