Bacter Family Saga

The cab pulled to a stop at the curb in front of Anthracis’s dorm, Sim State Dormitory. It wasn’t the nicest dorm on campus but given Anthracis’s situation it was going to be as good as he was going to get. Anthracis took a deep breath, grabbed his bag and got out of the cab. As the cab pulled away Anthracis suddenly felt very alone. He looked at his shabby duffle bag that contained everything he had, which was really only a few pairs of clothes. He couldn’t help but wonder how in the world he was going to make it. He swallowed hard and walked up the steps into the dorm. He was told to find his room and be prepared to either declare his major or go to class at 1 pm.

Anthracis found his dorm room, he got luck because it had a computer in it. He noticed that there were no other students there yet but he figured they would be coming since they were supposed to have class at 1. Anthracis sat down on his bed and thought about things for a few moments. He knew that his life long dream was to become a Mad Scientist. So, he flipped through his course guide and saw that a major if Physics would best suit him for this field. He decided that instead of waste his time with other freshman at this basic course he would declare his major. He sat down at his computer and declared his major as Physics. He saw his new course schedule and his first class was Newtonian Physics 1: Measuring Falling Stuff at 9 am. He looked at his watch and saw that it was nearly 11 and class was almost over. He’d have to attend his first class tomorrow.

Anthracis fell easily into his routine of class and homework. He was very focused on classes because he felt like the only way he could make it out from the mess he was in was to do really well in school so he could effectively start in the real world on his own. Anthracis threw himself into his school work and really didn’t have a whole lot of friends. It seemed that everything he did revolved around his school work.

His freshman year was quickly coming to a close and while the other freshman were off celebrating finishing that grueling first year, Anthracis was found on the computer in his PJs writing his term paper.

Will Anthracis make any friends? Or will classes continue to consume his life?
