Watching "Kaichou wa meido-sama", where a girl joins the student body of a recently co-ed, formerly all-boys' high school and comparing it to "Seitokai yakuin domo", where a boy joins the student body of a recently co-ed, formerly all-girls' high school is nakanaka omoshiroi desu... But still unsatisfying, somehow. The anime aren't really true inverses to one another and I think it could be better. But in the former, the girl has to be superwoman and in the latter the guy has to be totally uninterested, both modern tropes. I think it will be interesting, though, to see how social problems such as a declining birthrate and an aging population are dealt with in anime intended for teenagers and adolescents in the coming years.
Invasion of the past
Both series remind me of my experiences on student bodies in America and France. Ahh... the nostalgia!
Wished-for family
I think it would have been fun to have been able to be a little sister in junior and high school. Fuck my asshole father for screwing that up. But, oh well ; can't change the past.
More thoughts on employment
I wonder if I couldn't get a job with the local school district... That would probably pay enough, be stable enough, and leave enough time for earning my MA. Plus, it might be fun, sometimes! Even though I might have to change apartments, I might be able to stay in this one, too, maybe. I guess I can try to look into it this week... wish me success!
