Hey, everyone!

[Cue Max! She's dressed in pretty casual clothes, with one difference - she's wearing a square academic cap and a huge grin on her face.]

Guess who's officially a high school graduate? This gal! [And here, she jerks her thumbs back towards herself.] I can't believe I actually did it. This feels awesome! It took a lot of pushing from Professor Callaghan to get me to stop slacking, but I'm glad he never gave up on me.

Anyway, I have some people I'd like to thank. Professor Callaghan, of course - I'm sure I would have graduated without your help, but I wouldn't have done such a good job. I'm gonna miss having you as a professor. Thanks for helping me. And Clara, who also pushed - really hard. [Yeah, she does that.] And the Doctor - you're the best! [You're just going to be Space Grandad forever, deal with it.] Also, last but not least, Chloe. You're amazing. I can't even put much more than that into words.

I've still got some time to think about college; I think I'm going to take the week off to relax and celebrate. Anyone with me?

[ooc: If you want to hand wave your character being there, go for it!]

Thanks, Dr. Crane!

[Yeah, so not used to this.]

Well, I'm not finished, yet. I'm going to continue to study photography. How are you?

[restingstitchface]

Well enough.

[Much as one can be after being told they're a terrorist.]

Have you considered your choice in college?

[timecapture]

I'm still looking around, but I'm not really sure, yet.

[restingstitchface]

[Shame, that. Still, as long as it's not community college.]

Choose soon, then. These decisions are more important than you realize. It's important to be in your element, so to speak, but if you're too slow... You know, it reminds me of the time I decided to go to college...

[Aah. Old man nostalgia.]

[timecapture]

I know. I just gotta figure out whether there are any good art colleges around here. I've been shopping around, but...

[That, and she's also been told that taking a year off after high school is a good idea.]

[restingstitchface]

[What no. KEEP ON LEARNING. NO STOPPING.]

Why don't you check the most prestigious publications? Find where they are on the scale of rating.

[Don't go to community college when you can hit up Harvard, girl.]

[timecapture]

[YOU CAN'T TELL HER WHAT TO DO.]

Well, prestige is nice, but I'd rather find a school that fits me, even if it's not as famous.

[restingstitchface]

[Well, boo to you!]

A community college, then?

[Ah. Such intellectual snobbery. EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT.]

[timecapture]

I don't know yet.

[restingstitchface]

Indecisive.

You should fix that.

[timecapture]

Yeah, I really should. I mean, I know what I want to do, but...

[restingstitchface]

It's a big step?

Are you frightened, Max?

[timecapture]

It is a big step... and I'm really not sure that I should, given that I could blink back home at any time.

[At least in theory.]

[restingstitchface]

Perhaps you might. Though you wouldn't end up shackled by debt for everything you've learned. If you're that concerned, have you considered seeking the support of your friends?

[timecapture]

Good point. Maybe I'll just go for it.

Well... maybe. I don't really wanna bother anyone.
