WTF A&M, WTF.

Dude...they caught one of the two escaped convicts (the MURDERER) from Oklahoma ON CAMPUS?! What's more, near the library?!

This is me, breathing a huge sigh I don't study at the library.

What the hell...

Also, have signed up for the Yuuram entry on ship_manifesto. *rubs hands together evilly* I have until December 21st, but somehow I think this will take much less time~!

dude, this merits another update

So after micro lab today, I set up a meeting with my Biomedical Science advisor (note to self: meeting with said advisor 11/8 @ 1:00 PM!) on my way home, then called my parents to tell them I'd done so to put them at ease, because I'm a good daughter that way.

My mom picked up, and I not-so-subtly hinted at her to send more $$$ my way because I was going back to my dorm to decide which flavor of ramen to have tonigh--probably not roast beef flavor, since I had that LAST night. I don't know if I got through to her, we shall see. So I'm biking back to my dorm, and I mentioned that two Fridays from now is Cultural Day or something like that, and the Japan Club (not the club for Americans who like Japanese stuff, but the one for Japanese students who are studying here) is doing some stuff for it that the class will likely participate in. Seeing as the only interaction I've ever had with a Japanese person is Takashi, I'm kinda looking forward to this~

After I said that, she asks kind fo randomly, "So have you thought any more about this Japan thing after school?" <--referring to me fangirling to her about how badly I want to do the JET program after I graduate (i.e. July 2007-2008). I kinda blinked a moment, really wary--because hey, this is the same mother who didn't want me to go to California, a mere 2000 miles away and only a few hours from close relatives. And that was only for a couple of months. Japan is ONE YEAR. With the possibility of coming home MAYBE once. You can see why I was kinda scared to talk about it with her, because I'm pretty much set on going and NOT looking forward to more trouble from the parents about it.

And you know what? She actually thinks I should go. In her words, "It'll be a really good opportunity I think." <---WHAT?! SHE--WHAT?!

After all that hell I went through to get to California...and it's THIS EASY? Wait, no no--this is me NOT questioning. I don't care why she's so okay with it now (and I will NOT remind myself that this is the exact same attitude the 'rents took to my going to California until they realized I WAS going to go, and then they turned against me. But I won't remind myself of that ♥), but she IS and that makes things so much better. I even threw in a little, "And who knows, it'll be a good opportunity to check out grad schools over there too--A&M has tons of foreign students studying here" which she seemed to approve of as well.

So...do I dare hope? WHY NOT!
