Risk
Chapter 1
It certainly was nice of dad's old army buddy Mr. Pleasant to drive up here and get me settled into College. I am also glad I opted for this cabin style dorm, much more privacy I think, than having to wander down a hallway lined with doors to get to bed. Mr. Pleasant, reassured me that he wanted to check in on his daughters anyway, so helping me gave him an excuse to do so. When I looked up at his mention of daughters, he grinned, and said, not so fast bucko, get your academic life straightened out first, and then "maybe" I will give you my daughter's numbers.
With that, he stayed long enough to give me some pointers on studying as I settled down to do my first collegiate assignment. I wonder if his daughters are as friendly as he is, and hot. Sigh, nope, don't need to go there, I came to this woodsy campus to focus on my studies, not my sex life but still I wonder... Ok, so studying is going nowhere right now, maybe some horticulture will help me to focus.
What a wonderful dormitory this is, though I suppose that a campus focusing on the natural sciences would have greenhouses all over the place for student utilization. Nothing like tilling good earth to center ones self. What should I plant, ok boring but I guess I should start with tomatoes, and then move on to more exotic flora.
How cools is this, a wishing well. I have not seen one of these since I was a kid and we visited Grandma on the farm.
Deeper than it looks, I wonder how far down the water is, one Mississippi, two Missi...
Yeowch, what the hell was that! Teach me to look down a stupid old well. Hmm, where did this bag come from, well lunch money anyway.
Remind me not to toss any more coins in that well will you? Now how am I supposed to concentrate with this lump on my head. Nothing for it though, procrastination will not get me an A so I guess I best quit fooling around and hit the books. Maybe I can find some time to check out the campus "fauna" tomorrow...
