Description I didn't know quite how to classify this one, because these deer appear domesticated, but they are considered wild animals here...

Taken in Nara, something my host sister called our "best shot" for the day. Yes, I think that little deer dude did make me a best shot.

It looks like another world... and certainly felt like it too

Kofukuji, Nara, Japan

There are a few places with deer roaming public places in Japan I believe. Wonderful shot!

Yes, Nara is one and they're also around Miyajima outside of Hiroshima. There are probably more, but the deers are very tame in both places. Watch any maps and things a goat might eat, they'll grab things Although I think the Nara deer are better behaved that way

college! I am so very very busy already... we've been in classes just a week and a half and yesterday I spent 4 hours on French homework. How's about you? (That's why I rarely DA anymore!)

oh my yes that will be me next year, what's your major? I'll be in French 5, if French is that demanding in college... I'm gonna major in Japanese and Education so that's gonna be quite a bit of work!

Psychology! This is French 101 too... it is time-consuming but so far easy. I took Japanese last year, I loved it! I think you'll have fun.

yeah this will be my 3rd year Japanese at the high school level. I studied abroad this summer in Japan, and so far my dream is to become an English teacher in Japan, therefore I'll be majoring in Japanese and Education, probably of english as a second language although I'd never want that job in this country. I'll ask my canadian english teacher in Japan how he got to where he's at...

Awesome! And ambitious, heh! But I'm sure you can achieve your dreams. Studying abroad, that must have been such an amazing opportunity.

for sure, I'm definitely gonna try to get some reading skills in Japanese down, because I really wanna go back there. It's pretty ambitious... I'll have to ask someone who actually did it to think about my game plan~! I'm totally made more ambitious by the fact my mom is on one of her tirades right now, and I can only pray she comes out on the other side of manic-depression with me soon.

Good luck!

aww... I'll pray for her too. That's a hard disorder. I'm living with someone who is bipolar, so I can kind of understand...
