Mad Science Club

From Create Your Own Story

Ah, University! The word rings in your ears. A new life, a new world, a new adventure! You played through six years of elementary and studied through six years of junior high and high school, but now you've made it. Selecting an institution of higher learning was a long and arduous task, but at last you found one.

The Free University of Central Canada isn't big or prestigious; in fact you hadn't even heard of it until you started surfing sites that catered to more 'alternative' types of education. But they are accredited and offer degree programs. Their specialties are a bit weird, but you found the one you were looking for: a B.Sc. in Mad Science.

Some people consider the term 'nerd' to be offensive. You wear it like a badge of honour. They started calling you that in elementary school because you were bad at schoolyard games and always had your nose in a book. In junior high they tried to ostracize you for it, but gave up when they realized you just don't care. But in high school, you are certain there will be others who value not only science, but SCIENCE. Forget the litmus paper, we're talking death rays!

You've made it through your morning ablutions, put on the perfect clothes, and are all ready to go. You pause for just a second to check the mirror. Looking back at you is:

• Pete Sebastian, nerd.
• Cassie Williams, nerdette.
