That's my problem - Magna Cum Laude BA in International Government/Foreign Languages and a MPIA (Master's in Public and International Affairs). IR is a hard field to break into, for sure.
ETA: (Damn I'm locquatious today) - epchick my grad school took many many people who didn't have IR backgrounds but had a strong interest in it. PM me if you're really thinking about grad school for IR.
