IN OTHER LESS HEAD-BANGY NEWS,
Full steam ahead on the MIP thing. Both MIP advisers have written back about my courseload and plans and think they're "right on track." I do have to take micro and macro (economics oh kill me now) to further the self-shinying, and Russian is "a good idea." I am going to need a killer statement, though. And my decision not to apply straight for the MIP has officially been justified: "Increasingly, we are
focusing on students that have some grounding in IA. So, again, this
looks right on track."
HAH.
/massive neck twitch
So... I just have to do this. And not suck. And not get completely blown away by holy fuck I'm doing this. And I need to get a specialization and rock the hell out of it. I already know my second field is security; I need to decide if I want policy or intelligence. Or if I can rock both, because honestly I'm not sure which I want to do. Right now I'm leaning toward intel, because it's less, well, political. More work, less negotiating. So I really want all those arms control/WMD/terrorism/conflict/weapons development classes. Like, stat.
Note: the degree is in international policy, specifically, and when I say weapons/intel I mean specifically weapons/intel policy/analysis.
But you know what? My GRE (1190 and not likely to be repeated) score is good until 2013. I'm not going to rush this. If it takes me two years (and it probably will, with the language), then it takes me two years. That puts me up at applying for fall 2012. Two years of Russian + awesome!classes sounds good to meee.
So first: HOMG I'M IN THIS IS HAPPENING ADKJAIOGJOAPGJ A;IOGJAO;EIRJGO;AIJG;ASPLAT.
And second: allingod'stimingallingod'stimingallingod'stimingpleasedon'thitmewitha2x4allingod'stiming.
okay seriously cleaning now.
