Any last advice?
Blind Guardian bass fluctuates.

3/4 items I ordered from Amazon arrived today, Evangelion 2.22, european imperialism, Lucifer's call... all that's missing is Lain.
I'm squeeing like a little schoolgirl.
Hurts to swallow
I used to be a chemical engineering major.
Now I'm interested in politics.
Come to think of it, this is actually a career path that some engineers take. In fact, I'm vaguely going down the same route as the infamous David Koch. That said, he actually got a chem eng degree, and then made a fortune from many years in industry.
On the other hand, I could instead study music and do political/policy stuff on the side. Or maybe get into it after I've made myself a stable career.
@ music theory
Well, descriptive music theory has several different forms, but they have the same conceptual basis--chords based on stacking thirds, ideas about melody going up/down stepwise or in leaps, rhythm divided into 2s, 3s, and sometimes irregular sets.
Normative music theory, however, differs--for example, a subtonic-to-minor-i cadence is almost unheard of in western classical music, but extremely common in modern western popular music. So basically, the expectations of what is done with music are different.

Yeah, a lot of people have trouble with that fight. I never had that much problem with it myself. I found the Sync & Largo fight, much harder.
What difficulty setting are you playing at?
But then again, I'm a cheap bastard that bought 10X Experience after my first playthrough, so my memory might be a little fuzzy.
Each meme has three stats: association, interrupt, and pattern. Most memes are primarily one of the three, and many memes lack one of those three entirely.
Name me some memes, so I can test this idea out.
association - primary (high)
interrupt - nonexistent/trace
pattern - medium
Association is with sub-structural elements like words, sounds, and images. In this case, the meme is often invoked when people use the phrase "power level", or talk about something going over some four-digit threshold value. Associating things with these elements is the main way this meme is invoked.
Interrupt, also known as redirect, is the tendency of the meme to be invoked in order to interrupt/redirect/surprise/etc. the audience. This meme is almost never used to do this; invocations of Over 9000 tend to follow an associative pathway from whatever was being discussed before.
Pattern is how much the meme depends on structure. This meme depends somewhat on structure, since there are two elements (power level and over [large number]) that are generally invokved in order or in a specific relation to each other. Memes that are purely a reference have low pattern; on the other hand, some other memes depend on the recognition of a metacontextual pattern.
More like, coming out of high school, I wasn't that great with literature and language but really good with math and science classes.
That said, I should have known way back when. I only started becoming interested in history and sociology starting with my AP U.S. History class in 11th grade (world history honors in 10th grade was relatively boring, probably because the class's intent was to introduce facts rather than to analyze them). So basically I had classed "social studies" in with "English and literature and stuff that I'm not that great at" back then, so I neglected sociology.
I do have a pretty strongly analytical and objective tendency, which might be why things like literature didn't appeal to me much.
