I love politics! - no, not the complex negotiations which involve hours sitting round a table, hurried consultations with different individuals, carefull offers placed, and then quickly withdrawn, before eventually a comprimise on an issue completely different to the one initially under discussion is worked out to the dissatisfaction of every party

It's got to be genetic. Still sure you want to go into medical research? You could totally be a diplomat or something.... :P

Well... I've been saying all year one or the other.
Competition for (and within) MFAT is pretty tough though. - you need to be super intelligent, way over-qualified and really ambitious.
... It'd be sooo cool though.

you need to be super intelligent, way over-qualified and really ambitious.

... and your point is...

[megaffe]

um... the ammount of time it will take to get over-quallified, plus weather or not I'm ambitious enough... I'm not going to comment on the other bit.

Er... I actually had to stare at the for like half an hour wondering why you'd suddenly started talking about the weather.

Um.

I think you means whether. :P

I do see your point. but you obviously would really love to do it; it pays well; you're certainly bright enough; so what's the time factor to stress about? You have your whole life.

I realised I wasn't taling about the weather straight after I posted, but I figured you'd have sooo much fun pointing it out, I didn't want to spoil it for you :)

[labellementeuse]

;) That's a relief, anyway...

Hey, I learnt a new word in French* the other day. Glasnost. It's a policy of public openness and accountability (according to the Collins) and it was first used or named by Gorbachev. Interesting, huh? :P It's totally on topic for your post which is why I mention it.

*in French class, that is. The word itself is englsih. From the russin, presumably.
