WOOT

i am so lost in this place =D

[NejinOniwa]

Want to know about the stuff that sounds like random nonsense that I spout an early friday morning on the internet?

Most definitely not in the want-to-know category, no.

my throat hurts. :[

@bells: that's what YOU'D like HIM to do. -w-

and good for you ^^ you lucky bit--  ^^;

Yes. Yes it is. .///. But we didn't even ask what HE wants. D:

I get a free HDD and you call me a lucky bitch; I get two TRS-80s in a trade and Red calls me a lucky bitch; but somehow I very highly doubt I'm a lucky bitch. ._______.;

In other news: I may have formulated a plan for my life whilst traveling the Connecticut River Valley today.
1. Hold off on college until I have the means to live on my own
2. Move to Boston
3. Find a college that ACTUALLY. HAS. SOMETHING. I. WANT. TO. STUDY.
4. Study something I'm interested in (gender studies/women's studies; something in the New England heritage studies field; maybe fit mathematics in there somehow?)
5. ???????
6. DON'T PROFIT! (Really, there's no profitable job you can get with a degree in one of the fields I just mentioned; but I'll at least be moderately happy?)

with gender studies you might be able to go into psychiatry, social work, or maybe sociology. :3

also, i wanted to move to boston eventually, so you could come live with me. i was gonna go for some random apartment above a chinese restaurant. gonna buy some tatami mats (i found a place that sells them!!) and build a kotatsu and everything. -w-

Eat a banana and/or jelly babies, stay away from little kids wearing gas masks who ask "Are you my mummy?", and get a good night's sleep. Doctor's orders

Huzzah for random apartments! >W<

Ehh.... I wouldn't want to get into psychology or sociology or social work... mostly cause i hate don't like people... >___>

If I took all hopes for prestige and money-making off the table: I think I could pursue working in a museum/being a curator. Working in a quiet, climate-controlled environment, surrounded by old things, acquiring and/or working with rare artifacts... that sounds like it would be my idea of fun... :|

[Chocofreak13]

lol. i could see you working for a museum of natural history, bells. :3
i'd make a good social worker, but i'd be extremely depressed all the time (more than i am now).

@pentium: i'm afraid that if eat a banana, i'll get yelled at since they're my dads. i don't have any jelly babies, the only gas mask within 5 miles is mine (and russian), and BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL NYQUIL I HAVE THE POWER ALARM TURNED OFF!!!

I'm afraid you don't quite have that stare nailed good enough. That Stare is important. He's always very stare-y.

BUT BELLA, YOU MUST BE IN A LABCOAT! That's a basic bloody tenet!

Well, NyQuil works just as well

Welcome to the club; though my throat seems to be improving once again.... though I expect it to resurge for the third or fourth time.  The sleeping for +50% of the day may be helping.

*shrug*  I'm not there, so, you know, it doesn't really matter what I want now does it?

We're reading 'The Lorax' in class....... this is bloody fantastic.

Museum curation is a prestigious job!  Of course, you need to have at least a Masters in museum work or history or whatever subject the museum is focused on.  Usually.  They always need undergrads to do bitch work.

[zjhentohlauedy]

whenever my throat hurts i brush and gargle a lot D:

Good luck with that stewart D:

Gender studies will also enable you to win one internet, B. <3 Wish I had studied more of it, as I only took some basic courses during my third and fourth (or fourth and fifth, can't recall) years. The course selection for gender studies was quite limited however, and a lot of them were made only for majoring students, so I hadn't all the choice I'd have liked. ^^;

Yes it does matter. *____*

Ehhh... I've never seen a college with a museum curator's program....

But, yeah, last night I was checking out the course list for the university I've wanted to attend since I started high school and I discovered they have the equivalent of an Invent-Your-Own-Major Major (It has the much less fun-sounding name Interdisciplinary Studies). So students can pick from two or three areas of study to become INSANELY SPECIALIZED IN A SINGLE, MOST LIKELY USELESS, FIELD. Examples:

-One could study ancient Native American art (art history, archaeology, anthropology)
-One could train to teach mathematics to at-risk Spanish-speaking inner-city children (math education, social work [youth option], Spanish)
-Or become a climate model programmer (meteorology and computer science)

...and so on. Basically, if you can convince the counselors that you'll be able to make a career out of what you want to study, you can study it. D:
