CHARACTER STUDY (I)

A plucky young adult slides into his clothes for the day and rushes out of his dorm room door to make it to class on time.With both shoes carried in one hand, one sock halfway up his ankle, and backpack slung around one shoulder, he scurries to his first class of the day: astronomy. He stumbles into class and sits down at an open desk before narrowly missing the start of the lecture. Once the lecture had begun the student was absorbed in the curious topic of wormholes. It wasn't easy for him to get to this stage of education. The University of California San Diego does not accept many with an aerospace engineering major, but through stellar SAT scores, consistent academic excellence, and a lot of help from others, he has earned a spot in the honors program the the beautiful college. After class, he meets with one of his friends to play a friendly but competitive match of tennis. After playing for a couple hours, he comes back to his dorm, showers, and plays a very competitive ping-pong match with his roommate. Naturally, the tennis player and awesome pong stud wins the match. After a solid two hour nap, he heads off for his second and final class of the day: aerospace engineering. This class is very difficult for him, but his desire to learn and use creativity to design new aerodynamic figures is what keeps him motivated.
