I really hemmed and hawed about applying for college, given, well... Everything.
Being Aurachnid kinda messed up my chances at going to MIT like I wanted, my grades took a huge hit with all the time I spent patrolling, and then the Vanishing didn't help.
I did get a break, though. I applied to a few local private and community colleges, and the acceptance (and rejection) letters have started arriving.
MIT was obviously a bust. I got accepted to Gotham University, but it is my last resort. There's very little that could convince me to move to that hell city.
Most importantly, I got accepted to Nikola Tesla School of Innovation! It's in the city, so I can keep up with patrol, and it's a STEM school, so I'll actually have a degree that means something at the end of this. A cousin of mine got an electronics degree at a school renowned for their culinary program, and he was having a hard time getting a job before the Vanishing.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm going to college! It's good to have something planned out after I graduate high school.
I still haven't asked Castle if he'll come... I should get on that.
