I'd go for a Masters in politics and international relations. Pipe dream; i'll never have the funding, although I do appear to have the grades.Uzique wrote:

question for all the sky-rim-rim-rim-crimmers out there... do you find the game's movement feels a bit retarded indoors? something to do with the visual perspective, maybe, or the way the game renders. moving around indoors i always feel like my framerate has been axed to 15fps (it hasn't), or that my screen is tearing.
that sorta course at oxford isn't so much a 'master of your game' achievement as it is a go-to course for the international up-and-coming richkids. from what i've heard the master's degrees at oxford in 'big policy' courses like that are just the brand degree that all the rich asian, arabic and russian kids want-- the world arrivistes, in other words. seems like a louis vuitton bag to them. if you want to do a prestigious course in international relations, look into warwick. much much better. king's college london does one, too, that is a little different to the rest, but is still world class. from what i understand from a few friends that know oxford well, the MSc's in IR are pretty much the oxford equivalent of a harvard business school. nobody wants to be a business school grad student. you have to wear armani jeans and carry around all your textbook-moron work in those obnoxious leather wallets. fuck that.Pochsy wrote:

If I stay here in Canada I'll do a Masters in public policy so I can work in arts and culture policy or something similar (radio and television, perhaps).
In part I think I am the same as the rich kids; I just want the name Oxford University behind me. I've always loved the architecture there, and the atmosphere of the school. It was a place I wanted to stay when I visited at age 15, and I think a part of me just wants to reattach myself to that idealistic world.Uzique wrote:

Heard the same about IR at Oxford.. St. Andrews is meant to have one of the best departments in the country (and Europe), but the current undergraduate intake suffers from the same influx of rich American/Singaporean/Scandinavian dicks (myself excluded) who join Investment Groups and go to seminars on how to become successful investment bankers and do side-modules in management.Uzique wrote:

she could be a great guest sex ed speakerHow would you feel if an adult film star read to your seven year old child? Believe it or not, some parents in California are pretty angry that it happened in their kids' classroom.
Porn legend Sasha Grey was a guest reader at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, California earlier this month, joining first and third grade students in their Read Across America day. Grey certainly enjoyed the experience, tweeting, "Spent the am with Read Across America Compton, reading to the sweetest 1st & 3rd grade students @ Emerson Elementary!"
The problem, TMZ reports, is that parents aren't happy -- and that school officials, instead of addressing the issue, are claiming it never happened. Of course, it'd be silly for Grey to tweet about it if it hadn't happened, and more importantly, TMZ has a photo of the event (as they always seem to do).

I don't see why what she did for a living is at all relevant. Unless she was giving 'acting lessons' to the 1st and 3rd graders it shouldn't be an issue. Certain groups of women will always object to her inclusion into normal society. It wouldn't matter if she won the Nobel Prize, they'd still look down on her from their lofty moral perches. Nevermind that her job exists because they can't satisfy their husbands...Macbeth wrote:
