Just another day

soc_puppetYeah, so. How 'bout those wild boars?
Okay, yeah, moving on. I was going to go on a long gripe session about not having a car, and how the whole endorphins-from-exersize thing is BS in certain situations, but after French class, I don't feel like it as much. Instead, I'll just say, "It's not the cold, it's the dry," and leave it there.
Briefly, while I thought I had things worked out re: school this semester, it seems Mom may not have had him as convinced as we might've liked? Or maybe it's just his memory (ohgodplzno). Anyway, this was our conversation last night:
Dad: What classes are you taking?
Me: ...French.
Dad: And?
Me: That's it. I'm taking a break from schoolwork this semester, remember? I'll be looking for a job on the side.
Dad: You sure you couldn't take a full load? Because it would be cheaper (insurance-wise).
Me: *thinking* ...Gee, thanks for telling me this after the first day of classes is officially over, Dad. *aloud* ...I'll think about it/look into it.
On the plus side, at least I'll have a conversation starter with Dr. Kay tomorrow.
Unrelated side note, anyone have any information about what social services are like in Japan? For the homeless and such, I'm thinking. ...Not because I'm planning to go to Japan and become homeless, but because I need it for a plot point in Communications (which I amvaguely working on right now, and hope to have a ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fic_off-related update for shortly).
Also, I have no real thoughts at this moment re: live action Avatar movies, aside from "I hope I can get something that resembles a soundtrack from the show out of this." ...Okay, and also, "Let's see the professionals try and deal with immitating Katara's hair style now!" and "Woo-hoo, potential better costume references!" But mostly the soundtrack thing.
Edit: I hope they still have those fleece scarves at the Dollar Tree. I want to make more bedding for the ratties' cage.
