I think SOAS should start banning everything that is right and wrong.
define 'right' and 'wrong'?

you are talking about statistical abnormality, or a social one?

wha?

can you translate that into english please?

why would you want to ban the drugs (i think you mean illegal drugs, not benzodiazepines) ??? they ARE the things that make 'our lives' interesting.

not really.....u wanna wat makes life interesting...sitting under the night sky(with some beer)....climbing the mountain and looking at the never ending horizon ......and oh yeah having all you want....
what if i wanna drugs?

what if i've had a lobotomy? surely i wouldn't care much after about interesting 'things'... i wouldn't care about much at all to be honest.

i'm in the exact same situation as you, they're driving me crazy :mad:
they are waiting for all applications to filter through, so that they get the best students...

damn them.
yeh DAMN THEM :mad: ........ :biggrin:
I've started to formulate a bearable plan B, in case i don't get an offer.
my life is going in one of two very different directions, and i really hope it's SOAS.
^^ shitttt i feel exactly the same way. i know i'll get an offer from soas but just in case ive got a backup plan

What are these back-up plans :confused: Exoskeletal: I Clicked the Face, your background looks very similar to mine :biggrin: . I am also looking to go into foreign diplomacy!

Piers.
the back up plan so far:
if i get no offer, I'll write to soas to ask if it because i'm underqualified. if that is not the case (I'm pretty much solid straight A's) then i reapply to soas for 2007.
in the meantime i go to japan to work (again) and earn some cash, then maybe singapore. perhaps even hong kong. will see how work goes.
come home, then go to India for a few months, for a mixture of reflection, self-discovery, partying and most importantly volunteering. perhaps think about other degrees i could do. (PPE? sociology? international relations? russian?)

but, I'd rather go to soas.

Piers, what have you applied to study?
Reply 39
I've applied for Chinese at SOAS. Im also greatly interested in the subjects you mentioned at the end there, but im trying to stay focused! My back up plan is something similar (though im not hedging all my bets on SOAS) except that it will revolve around China:smile:. Out of curiosity which languages can you speak and to what kind of level, especially Japanese? Your application seems very strong indeed, especially with all the travelling, I can't see them refusing you!

Piers.
