New Beginnings

The name’s Watson.

Mike Watson.

I’m gonna shake this campus up, get me lotsa best friends, and become Captain Hero.

I would have liked to become a Super Spy, like my idol, but I don’t think University trains spies, so I’ll settle for Captain Hero instead. Hah! I’ll be the Coolest of the Cool, fighting the bad guys, and rescuing the fair maiden, all the while gaining the adoration of the whole city, not to mention the dough I’ll earn! There’ll be buildings, and statues, and schools named after me, and I’ll have hundreds, no, thousands, of fan clubs! I can hardly wait! It’ll be so much more exciting than taking over my dad’s building company, like my older brother is expected to do. But, since I’m not the first born son, I can do what I like. I can see it now: while Mark (my brother) is busily building houses and boring stuff like that, I’ll be flying around the city, punishing the baddies, and fun stuff like that!

Anyway, the place you can see in the picture above is where I’ll be living for at least the next year or two. I may move out and get my own place when I’ve saved up enough money, or I may just stay here until I graduate, I don’t know yet. Things have been pretty good here, although I wish the old crone in the caff would stop burning the food, I’m sure she does it on purpose.

I suppose I shoul shuffle off to my exam now, so take care.

Oh, and remember, if there’s any trouble, just call on Watson. Mike Watson.

(Well, doesn’t Mr Popularity there think he’s the cat’s pajamas? Still, at least he doesn’t have a lump on his head the size of a baseball…next time, my mother can put her own gazebo up!)
