the train ride up here was quite interesting. i met this girl Rose who is like a human solar panel; she soaks up the suns energy and can release it through beams of light. i haven't seen Ian that much since i've been here because his room is on the other side of campus and we have no classes together (not even lunch). the school did that on purpose because they want us to meet new people.
for p.e. i'm taking a martial arts class, and i think i'm doing pretty well. although i don't know how anyone in that class can concentrate around Professor Dillon (he looks like a sculpture crafted by the gods).
