090 Grayson Goes to University, Part 2

October 16, 2015

Told by Grayson.

I had brought home an energy drink from the student center, which surprisingly kept me up for hours. (Who knew!)

I was so pumped that I was inspired to beat my high score in online chess, then I studied my brand new course books so I could be prepared for my first class tomorrow.

I got half a night’s sleep, but woke early from excitement so I did some star gazing outside. Before I knew it the sun was coming up and I could see students on their way to class! Oops!

Luckily my first class was not til after lunch, so I made it well in time.

“I love this place!!”

I didn’t love the first class so much. Why? Because we waited and waited and the professor didn’t show.

So I felt it was necessary to take matters into my own hands.

“… and that, class, is quantum physics in a nutshell. Next time we’ll delve deeper into new discoveries in recent decades and how it may very well blow out of the water all our current scientific theories and everything I just told you. But it’s good for you to have the background. Are there any questions?”

Blue-haired guy: “I got a question. Where is the real professor?”

“I’m the realest professor you’re getting right now.”

After class I decided to explore some of the awesome-looking machines in one of the labs.

I was pretty jazzed about the information I had just imparted to my fellow students, and was feeling confident in my genius abilities.

“Hmmm… there seems to be a syntax error in the code. No wonder the machine’s not working right.”

“Aha! Perfect.”

So my first day was a success after all. I had been stressing about feeling so much older than everyone, and wondering if I would fit in, but really there was nothing to worry about! I had my knowledge and wisdom to impart to these young kids, and there was no reason for me to feel inferior.
