[Public] Journal Entry: Curtis Donovan 12/11/2012

[om_janus]

Another new student. Curtis Donovan, 17 and exhausted. It was a long flight.

I'm the new tennant of 106 West. Never been to a school that insisted on introductions before. Then again never been to a school with it's own stables and telepathic headmaster either.

Gonna crash, unpacking can wait. I guess I'll meet you all in class.

Hello, Curtis! This was certainly a new kind of school to me, too--though I guess it is to all of us, in the mutant way. I'm Jeanne-Marie. Welcome, and good to meet you.

[om_janus]

I left school after my GCSEs, fucking weird to be back really.

[om_aurora]

I had to look up what that was--I am learning all sorts of interesting things about education systems, it seems.

I hope this proves to be the good kind of weird. We certainly have a lot of "weird" in general, here. :D

[om_janus]

Yeah it is different. I figured I should get my A levels but apparently you Americans don't have them. I was told you guys have SATs here which I sat when I was like 13. Same name different thing?

so far it's 'better' kind of weird, we'll see yeah

[om_aurora]

We don't have to write the SAT in Canada, either--or maybe just Quebec? My educational experience so far has not been typical of my own country or even province, so perhaps I am wrong. It is for university acceptance here, though, I think.

Either way, there is still plenty for me to learn.

"Better" is a good step, so I am glad to hear it! I felt the same from the start.

[om_janus]

Canada? Good to know I ain't the only non american then. All I know about America is mostly from TV and movies. Know less bout Canada.

yeah, either way I don't have to explain my mutation crap here so yeah better.

[om_aurora]

There are plenty of us non-Americans around, which does make it easier. I don't feel so awkward, trying to adjust. And yes, no explaining mutations! That is the best thing, certainly.

[om_janus]

Good to know.

Trying to explain to people where Melissa/Curtis was and why I was in their clothes was a freaking nightmare
