Vet tech
Last weekend my daughter came home from college and said, "ok, this is kind of a big ask, but" and proceeded to tell me that an old cow donated to their large animal department at school had had an unexpected calf. The cow, after the semester ended, would be sold for slaughter. The calf would go as well. She wanted us to adopt the calf and raise it. My husband and I were still wrestling with this difficult question early in the week, when she sent us a message that the calf had died of natural causes.
That, frankly, was a relief. I don't really want to have a milk cow at this point; I did that while the kids were young, but it's a LOT of work. Daily, unskippable work.
Then she sent me a message that she (at the behest of a friend) had adopted a jumping spider. Set up a little terrarium for him in her dorm, "look! Here are pictures."
So, vet (and by extension vet nursing) schools cause problems, is what I'm saying. Not that the kid hasn't always been this way.

prev chapter - next chapter
You were a new student, who had recently transferred to a new college in Tokyo.
Here at your new college, Jujutsu Tokyo Tech, you were going to be a second year, and the class you picked to specialize in filming and camera work.
You had also wanted to get a major in art, but sadly, the class was already full by the time you transferred, what a pain.
But you were NOT about to let this discourage you from letting you thrive into a fresh college year; you were determined to make the best of this transfer decision, and a silly major was not going to make you give up before even getting the chance to start.
This morning, you woke up at 5.30 AM, to get ready for your first lecture at 8.
Everything was planned out: shower at 5.40, getting ready and makeup from 6.00 to 6.15, packing your bag in 5 mnin, and then you would be right out that door.
Now, this plan really was effectual, just not on you!
A sleepy mess, when you wake up you wisely decide to ignore the cute Miffy alarm that was neatly placed on your shelf by pushing it on the ground, muttering a quick and sleepy "fuck off" at the poor bunny shaped object, pathetically groaning when your hand makes contact with the object.
What a lovely start!
Without even knowing, this had just ruined your whole schedule, but you somehow managed to leave your dorm room only 20 minutes late, leaving you still enough time to grab a coffee and walk a bit around campus.
Your mind was teeming with anxious thoughts, all deriving from the fact that you knew absolutely nobody here, and you weren't exactly the most social person around either.
A nervous shiver runs down your spine, jolting you out of your thoughts, as you feel the chilly September around envelope you the second you step out of your building.
You were wearing baggy black jeans that you had recently thrifted, a tight fitting but still very soft and stretchy light grey and light pink tanktop; to elevate your outfit, you had a studded belt you had bought long time ago from Hot Topic, and your copious jewellery around your wrists and neck.
You didn't wanna seem basic, but you didn't want to scare people away by having them think your style was weird or even too strong; who knows how people here think and perceive others?
-1 hour later-
6000 steps around campus later, you're standing infront of your class, photography and camera work.
You had picked this course as your main one without thinking twice; you had always had a connection with photography, you felt as if filming and capturing images and colors was one of the best way to express yourself.
You could tell stories through colors, textures and capture small moments, feelings sigilled in a single frame picture, to be remembered forever.
You take a deep breath, fixing your black braided hair again, for the thousandth time, and finally take a step inside the dimly lit class.
Hey guys!
This is the first chapter, leaving y'all on a cliffhanger, hehe.
Tell me if you liked this, or if you wanna be added to a taglist. I'm a new writer here on Tumblr, so this is not the best yet, but I'm learning!
Luv y'all
