So I just found out today that my parents suck...ass....apparently they are going to <span style=\'color:red\'> JAPAN</span> without me...MTFing JAPAN!!!! They're taking my 2 younger brothers but leaving my older brother and me behind...apparently we can look after the dog & cats. Whoop-di-friggen-doo. This sucks ass, I move out of the house for a YEAR and I'm booted out of the first family vacation we've had in 5 years (a total of our 3rd good one ever, and in the 1st I was 3...). Apparently as I went to Europe last year (which I PAID FOR) I've had all the travelling I need for next while...bastards... :mad: sorry, just needed to rant
On the upside I've decided I'm going to do SWAP volunteer in Africa next year & track endangered species making sure farmers dont mess w/ them which I'm super excited about. |
When are they going? You should save up some money and hop a plane the same week, even if just for a few days.
"Sorry mom, I can't look after the cat. I'm getting baked in A-dam." :smoke: Something to that effect. :hypocrite: |

Oh, and that sucks about Japan, but it's just the way it goes with younger kids, they get everything!! |
Shitty about Japan dude :friends: . but that SWAP idea is def. something to get excited about and look forward to. congrats :clap:
:cheers: |
Bastards! If it's any consolation, my parents have been to Japan numerous times without me (I haven't gotten to go since I was really little) and next month they're going to Iran without me. Apparently, I'm not their baby boy anymore. :fyou:
Ok, so maybe I'm a bit old for that.. Congrats on the Africa thing, though. That sounds freakin' awesome. You can do Japan when you're older and have waaaay more money. ;) |
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that, Laura!! :kisscheek: Bastards indeed.
And Omid, I thought you didn't want to head back to Iran until after the age of 40 or something so they can't toss you into mandatory military service... :blink: :lol: |
I know, I know, but I still wanna go!
|
Couldn't you "sneak" in with your American passport? Oh wait, on second thought... :lol:
But I don't blame you, I'd love to go to Iran. :) |
Ohhh, that's awful.
I had a similar terrible experience in uni - I went out to the airport three times in one week - picking up my mom from UK, dropping my sister off to TO, dropping my mom off to Japan (Japan seems to be a recurring theme). :taz: It was so depressing being at the airport and then turning around and going home. When my mom got back from Japan I got my revenge though, announcing..."oh, by the way, I'm going to Russia in January." It was her life-long dream. She has gone now, but I went first! :blink: SWAP in Africa sounds like a sweet revenge... |

I think I would be definately bitter if my parents decided to take a trip and didn't include me....
Sorry Laura!! But you will have a great time in Africa!! |

Wow, what a bunch of bastards. I'd be pissed! :hunter: Okay, not really pissed, but ... well, I'm sure you know. You could always save for a plane ticket to go along and mooch off of them for the rest.
Africa sounds very cool! |
actually, I think I'm okay with it now...I mean not really but I've shifted my focus. I've pretty much just spent the past 4 hours going crazy reading up on other African opportunities and now I am PSYCHED! :mf_w00t2:
Wow I love the way I study for my chem quiz/calc test/physics quiz/EXAMS in my spare time :lol: but this is just waaaaaay more exciting. There are so many super cool opportunities out there, it'll be so difficult deciding which to do (particularily those hooked up by the brits, and for that I thank them :kisscheek: :clap: they're my new heros). There's one where I can monitor the predator/prey relationships in the wild to make sure that new animals they've placed arent influencing the natural balance negatively and it seems realllllllly cool. And there's another one where you capture species and move them to new areas where they should be, which would also be really good experience....and there are others where you care for injured animals in rehabilitation centres for the wild animals which pertains the most to what I want to become (wildlife vet) but just not as exciting as actually tracking and monitoring the species in their real life habitat...ohmanohmanohmanohman I just got myself really crazy psyched for this..... :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: dont mind the dancing men...but I think that's actually what I will be doing in about 5 seconds...I think I'm already doing it internally..... |
Those all sounds great! Definitely let us know what you decide to do.
|
What an incredible opportunity. I like the idea of the monitoring of newly introduced animals - that would give some pretty amazing insight, and there are so many re-introduction programmes going on all over the place (wolves, buffalo, etc) I'm sure the insights would apply in different places. There are also so many problems arising out of alien species being introduced and destroying the native habitat and fauna...
Is there anything you could apply for that would give you a bit of experience in different areas? A month of observation, a month in the clinic, etc? I guess that would be the ultimate... :party: :party: I'll do a little jig for you while I finish making dinner! :tumbleweed: |
Who wants to go to boring old Japan, anyway.... ;)
:tumbleweed: |
Uhm, Me?
:crybaby: |
