Dear World,

Today, we (Mary and Erin) changed from a Bachelor of Fine Arts/ Arts to Bachelors of Saving The World. We are satisfied with this decision, we think it pretty much rules.
The B.S.T.W. is a most phantasmagorical degree which we know will lead us to a fulfilling career and lifestyle plan. Career options include:
- Tattoo artist
- Minion of non-governmental organisation
- Agent of prime cardboard box locations within the inner city.

Undergraduates of this most illustrious degree can be found living out the following dreams:
- Members of a hardcore/ metalcore band
- Documentary makers
- Tattoo artists
- Graffiti artists
- Artist's artists
- Impoverished students
- Leaders of fantastic sex lives.

The natural habitat of those partaking in such activities is one that is both breathtaking in its seedy, urban landscape and often times confusing in its multiple infractions upon the greyer areas of today’s legal system.
However, such an environment ensures that the necessary skills to Change The World are learnt. Skills such as the ability to defend ones self with hardcore screaming, wonderful oratory skills, a keen and fine-tuned sense of injustice about all things and at all times- often contradictory, reaching and living beyond ones means, finely crafting open letters to the world at large, and the ability to mesmerise entire nations and civilisations with our beauty, wit and intelligence.

We'll also be able to squirt milk out of labret piercings.

Of course, Changing The World is simply a first, baby step enabled by our recent degree change. As we know, Changes, once implemented, are often over turned by such mundane occurrences as:
- A governmental change
- War
- Assassination
- Lack of funding
Hence, our grander scheme to Take Over The World TM shall ensure that our changes are long-lived and properly appreciated through generous monetary donations from the public.

We will be benevolent overmasters. We will not whip or imprison the faithful and lawful among our minions, now will we impede any citizens right to debate the degrees of beauty, wisdom and wit we possess. All who fall in line will be saved, all who falter, falling by the wayside, or show any signs of weakness will be weeded out by us, the loving gardeners of our Garden State.
We will use blood&bone to nourish the soil,. and plan our seasonal planting with the aid of small, colourful drawings done to scale. We will likely don attractive red fez’s during the implementation of this phase of the plan.
The gradual implementation of our plan will be slow and painless, and we shall provide anaesthetic to those whose threshold for change is low and pitiful. No guarantees are made as to the non-lethal nature of this product.

In summary, we believe our decision is for the best. We eagerly await your consent to this process of change, but it is not a prerequisite to the continuance of it's implementation.

Sincerely,

Mary and Erin, BA STW.
