Must be a very important summer internship. Seems you only post while you're supposed to be working. I honestly hope that you're thinking for a second that McGill will impress me. You're forgetting that President Dumb**** graduated from both Yale and Harvard. It's not where you go to school, its what you learn. I honestly hope that you go into the institution looking to learn, not just trying to get a piece of paper that will look good on your resume. You're obviously a kid with something on the ball (or I wouldn't engage you at all) so I honestly hope you put your intellect to good use. What ever you choose, go at it honestly and dedicate yourself to it.

Yeah, that's a very good point to be honest. It's like they say, good schools produce good applicants and not necessarily good graduates.
Everything you say is true, I won't argue with it. I am 20, I'd like to think I'm an "old" 20 but I'd be a fool not to understand that experience often breeds wisdom.

As for the internship, today is a very slow day. I was supposed to be writing a book report for my superiors (ie. everybody here) but the words really aren't flowing out onto the page.

Human Rights Watch is good. I feel they bring a balanced approach that organizations just Amnesty don't bring. I personally prefer the "thinkers" approach to policy critique instead of "feeling" your way through an issue.
