Nominations for the student board close in less than 24 hours. My manifesto is written, all questions asked have been answered, my publicity has been designed and printed, and all I need now is a thumb drive to save it all to, a couple of passport photos, and a tenner. Then I will officially be a candidate for the UPSU student elections this year and I am going to kick so much ass WOOOWOWOWOWOWOOOOO!

So it turns out I need a stats class to get into most / all MPA programs, and in order to graduate I need to take a 300-level course. Which means I'll probably have to take "Introduction to Statistical Methods" over the Summer. It will probably be grueling! But it's necessary.

In visiting the Rhetoric and Technical Communication program at Michigan Tech last month, I met a lot of people interested/working in the rhetoric of science, which is pretty much cultural studies OF the philosophy of science.
One woman, for example, was interested in the understanding/rhetorical presentation of breastfeeding methods. Another had done his master's thesis on pamphlets about treatment of diabetes throughout history.
The cool thing about the Michigan Tech program is that their humanities department combines English and Philosophy and Communication and Cultural Studies and so on; so you can have professors from Philosophy AND from English on your committee. It might be worth checking out, Joseph, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Hey Guys,
So my B.S. is in the field of Management. Yadda yadda it was an okay show for four years but I think that somewhere along down the road I'd want to start going to school again for things that either interest me or would be helpful in a field I actually want to work in.
The concentrations that I want to look into are either Electrical Engineering and/or Acoustic Engineering or basically something like a Full Sail-type recording school, but accredited. The thing is though, I totally and utterly fucking suck at anything math and science related. The fields I'd be interested in studying probably have a lot to do with those things.
In the future I'd really love to work as a recording engineer in a studio or as a live sound engineer at a concert venue. Currently I run sound at the local bar in town for live music and while I've learned a lot, I'm sure it pales to what I could be learning about at an actual institution.
Uhh... so where do I go from here?

Out of curiosity, clownshoe, why exactly does it sound like a joke?
