AJ faces his destiny

*It was an otherwise usual day for AJ; he was still looking for a job, and above all, he was on pins and needles waiting for the results of his college entrance exam. He was so worried that his grades weren't good enough to get into it, but at the same time he seemed really "on" when he was taking the exam, not to mention the fact that he had used the same technique that he had seen the title character from "GTO" use to study for his exam -- that technique being for three days before the test packing as much information as he could into his head, even going so far as to attach a wood block with pins sticking out of it to his head so that he would be pricked out of going to sleep should he ever nod off (which luckily happened only twice during his study session). He had then gotten a good night's sleep the day before the test and retested himself a few hours before to make sure he had retained the information. Of course, today, little did he know yet, was not like any other day -- he was about to find out his destiny. He walks to the mailbox, wondering if he had gotten any mail. His face then turns pale as he sees what he got in the mail. His college entrance exam scores had finally come in! He nervously runs up to his room and is about to open the envelope ... but he hesitates a bit. What if it says he hadn't gotten in? He had not heard word from the radio station yet, and the other jobs he had applied for had turned him down, so if he doesn't make it in ... how could he make a future for himself? He can't avoid this forever, though ... he has to find out. He opens the envelope very nervously and starts reading out loud.*

AJ: "AJ Peterson-sama --
We apologise for the late reply; your scores had taken additional time to process, as we caught a scoring error before sending this letter to you. Your scores for the entrance exam have been calculated and processed, and we are pleased to inform you that ..."

*He drops the letter to the ground. His eyes well up with tears, but not out of sadness. He is smiling more than he had been in a long time.*

AJ: I ... passed ... !!

*AJ shouts out loud:*

AJ: I DID IT !!!! ^_^ I made it in!

*Tears of joy start streaming down his face. All that hard work had finally paid off, and he had managed to pass the exam! He could not believe it -- he, the guy who had failed five semesters in a row in high school, had made it into college. He then realises that college starts in about a week, so he had better get ready! Of course, the question remained of how to pay for it, but he figured that there were a few ways of doing this, and he wouldn't even need to give it a thought if the radio station allowed him to work nights. The dorm was a bit cheaper than the apartment, so since he had only paid up through the summer in case he were to make it into college, he figures that he can move into a dorm if not all of them are full. He starts thinking of potential roommates but doesn't know who else is going to the same college. (OOC- He also doesn't know that James is going to the same college but is in the honors program.) He figures that as long as his roommate doesn't turn out to be completely insane, he'll be fine. What counts now is that he made it into college and can now advance to the next stage of his life.*
