College...YAY

Harmon University...Yay.  I swear if my dad weren't a god I'd just blow him off but I am positive that would cause me more problems than a temper tantrum is worth.  All I could think as I pulled up is it's not Columbia and damn it all I'm gonna miss Gino's Pizza Shack.  I'm still not used to having an adult in my life who seems to care and to be honest I don't trust his motives but for now I guess all I can do is shut up and color...and pay close attention.

When I pull up to my dorm hall I see 4 other kids waiting, one girl even has her dad with her.  We meet our "Adviser" who, as The Bitch would have it, is Dr. Lord...Demigod Scion of Quetzalcoátl.  At first I had a moment of panic...after all he and my father aren't known to get a long well.  But he claims not to judge based on our heritage...we'll see about that one.  He has a jaguar too called Ix Chel but she is his Nargual and different from Tepini...I'll have to find out more about this.

Our hall is apparently not here.  That is, it is a Terra Incognita...a sort of demi-plane.  It gives us a place to be ourselves and be hidden from the mortals.  Nice too cause if I had to keep Tepini locked away all the time he'd have a hissy fit (pun completely intended.)

So we all got to meet with Dr. Lord and our hall mates.  Let me break it down like this:

Alex: Scion of Hephaestus-the kid is over 7ft tall I swear and drop dead gorgeous.  I mean he is likely as pretty as me!
Ren: Scion of Izanagi-computer kid, has a pet bird a bit shy and quiet...wonder what he's hiding...
Jahiera:Scion of Bastet-seems like a nice girl, has a pet cat that makes Tepini happy when he sees her (i'll have to keep an eye on him...)  Bastet, keeper of secrets...hmm...
Hank: Scion of Shango-ROTC kid, seems like a tough I can kick your butt kind of person.  Hope he can teach me to shoot this gun better...
Lionel: Scion of Nergal-very private person...
Cory: Scion of Coyote-VERY good looking surfer kid with a cocky streak...I can't wait to have a little fun with him!
Sonia: Scion of Sun Wukong-quiet, shy, seems sweet, into films not sure what kind but as she is my roommate I am sure I will find out all about them.
Sadie: Scion of Parvati-Bitch.  Comes from money, stuck up, pain in the ass BITCH.  I feel bad Jahi got stuck with her and look forward to knocking her down a peg or six.
Barry: Scion of Vahram-of this redneck is a piece of mother fucking work!  He starts off by insulting all of us, "can't believe you city folk're taking this whole pagen bullshit seriously."  Redneck asshole.  He thinks one of "Lord Jesus" angels came and gave him gifts and called our parents "queer gods" from "primitive story books" and "demons."  It was all I could do to keep Tepini from ripping his throat out not that I wanted to hold him back. We've been informed we can't kill him but all else is fair game...he has some HARD lessons to learn and we are more than happy to teach him, but Dr. Lord went ahead and dropped in the forest to cool off and learn so it will have to wait.

As it turns out The Bitch (Fate) made us have a Biology class with Dr. Lord at 8am Mon, Wed, Fri and the schedule cannot be altered in anyway (Dr. Lord tried as he is not pleased with it either.)

Of course right as he's handing out packets and room assignments The Bitch decides to make me go all freak show.  Visions are helpful and all but they really can come at bad (or at least not good) times.  I'll have to make a separate journal of visions to keep track of them I think.

It was an interesting way to start college that's for sure and I think I will start researching everyone's pantheons...I don't like not knowing something so important.  Good thing I'm taking that "Mythology" course too.  Well here's hoping I can get in with the school paper and gymnastics team.  If I can manage one or both of those this college won't be so bad...right?
