Adulting 101- Monday- 4th period

While the class was meeting in the Danger Shop today, they were starting in the parking lot of an apartment complex. Also, it was 72 degrees and sunny here. Bless you, Danger Shop.

"Today we're talking about apartments," Kitty greeted them. "Because once you're not somewhere that'll put you up in dorms, it's time to find someplace to stay. Sometimes you might have it easy, like if you come from a situation where you can live with your family until you can save up enough money. If you don't have that, though, it gets a little... well, not harder, but you have to do more work. You can find a roommate, or rent a room in someone's house, or you can try to find a place on your own. It's all gonna depend on your situation and preferences and what you can afford. You can find any of these the same way you'd find a job, just on different websites. But today we're going to visit a couple apartments just so you can see what's out there. And you should have some idea of what you want and what you don't, too, before you see a place. Like if I was looking for an apartment, I'd want enough room to entertain, it'd need to accept both cats and dogs-" Shh, Lockheed was totally a cat if he had his image inducer on- "and a washer and dryer on the premises is a must. Laundromats are a bitch in the winter, I'm not trying to deal with that. So you want to have some sort of idea of what you're looking for, and be willing to bend on some things because unless you've got a lot of money you're not going to get everything.

"That said, before we go anywhere, I want to go around and have you guys tell me what you think a good price for a one-bedroom apartment is in this area, and a couple things you would definitely want or don't want to have in your home."

"This isn't actually a very regular school," Raven said. "I think I had one class that had papers and discussions and things, and I've been here more than a year. Though if you want to do more of the academic stuff, there's lots of online classes, too."

"Perhaps I will." There were other skills she didn't want to lose, like the languages. ALthough beyond that she wasn't sure. Hanna smiled a little. "But-- could we shop for jewelry? Just to be pretty, first?"

"Absolutely," Raven agreed. "Jewelry, yarn, and clothes. After we do the self-defense stuff tomorrow?"

"That sounds-- very good." Hanna smiled at Raven, feeling better, a bit, about this 'adulthood' thing. The class helped, but other people did too. "Thank you, Raven."

"It's only fair," Raven assured her. "You're going to teach me things, and I'll teach you things. And the shopping -- that part's just fun."
