You can't palm me off with margarine!
Spent most of the day wrestling with the LSC schedule. Not fun, mostly because a lot of people haven't filled out the form that says they're still in the club, but also because I still don't have a clear idea of what it is exactly that I'm supposed to be doing. Having the power and authority to change absolutely everything in our locker is pretty entertaining, though.
In other news, it's absurd how attached to my P4 party I'm getting. It's like, ok, they're fictional characters. Yes, the personalities are better defined than you might expect in a game, and the voice acting does an incredible job of making them real, but they're still just characters, right?
Except there's this thing, where if you spend enough time with them one-on-one, they can take a mortal blow for you in battle. And it's one thing to read that when your social link ranks up, because you think "damn right they will! I'm the one who needs to survive, after all." But it's another thing entirely to be in a battle with some thing that's fixing to hit YOU and you can tell, and right before it happens Kanji goes "No way!" and fucking kicks you out of the way and takes the hit himself, which drops him right down to 1 HP. And the thing is, when that happened? I got a little choked up. I just sort of stared at the screen in amazement and said "Kanji-kun...". And then I realized I'd actually said it out loud a little and was properly ashamed of myself, but there you go.
That's another thing - I'm completely subconsciously applying their honorifics when I think about them. Well, Yosuke comes and goes, but it's always Chie-chan and Yuki-chan and Kanji-kun no matter what I do. I'd be more worried if it wasn't such a fantastic game.
Oh Christ, Reg Day tomorrow. I can't hardly fucking wait. Ashley was a sport and agreed to help out at QoS, so I think I'm gonna pop down to desk and add her to the schedule, just because I know how to now. And then...P4 UNTIL BEDTIME!!! YAY!!!!!
Thought about TechFair, but ultimately decided that Career Fair is going to be enough. I'll probably go help the LSC people out after I'm done meeting with Gradecak, and then, I don't know, more P4? And maybe I'll consider looking up my textbooks, too, though I don't think I'll be buying any. This is developing into a pattern: buy books first semester, get thouroughly disgusted with how little I use them, buy no books second semester, manage just the same. We'll see how it goes, I guess.
