The Future IS Really Now.

Back Again!

Date: November 22nd 

Time: 11:30 AM

I, Sophocles, am back again. I've been enjoying life with my partner Damien for the past few months. We love each other so much. It's so nice to have him as not only as my mentor, but also as my loving boyfriend! None of my friends at home back in Alola know about him yet, but if I have time to go back on break or something like that, I will definitely bring Damien with me. Although, it seems like I won't be going back anytime soon, because I am going to college! I'm going to The Mossdeep College of Astronomy. It's affiliated with the Mossdeep Space Center itself, so I will have all of my assignments from there, transferred to my dorm as my homework. That way, I can both complete my work for well.. work, and can also complete my home and classwork for school itself. 

I'm super excited to see what I will learn there. This is one of the last steps to becoming a full fledged astronaut! I just have to go through tons of training, years of school, keep up with years worth of work as a space cadet, and so so much more. It's going to be quite stressful, but I am willing to do what I have to do to make my younger self happy as he can be. I will be happy with anyone as my roommate, really, but, Kyle is a huge exception. I wouldn't wish anyone a dorm with him. Besides that, It would be nice to meet new people and engage with people I haven't talked with much at work. Such as, other cadets. Of course, another cadet that will be there is Kyle. 

I don't think after the history of offenses Kyle has had towards me will allow him to share a dorm with me, right? I am going to send my college application in tonight. I have two hopes. One is, is that I don't get to share a dorm with Kyle, and that I will actually get accepted in the first place. Since I'm not an ungrateful little brat, I would be fine with any outcome. But, both outcomes would be optimal. We're supposed to have our college applications sent in by Friday, which I can do easily. The paper is right in front of me, I just have to fill it right out.

One of the first questions I get on that paper is, "Are there any disabilities/mental disorders/physical disorders that need attention?" I hate this question so much. I hate practically telling the world that I am a 21-year-old that acts twenty years younger than what he is supposed to be when exposed to a dark room. I hate it. I truly do. But, I have to honestly answer the question in order to actually get in. Besides, I might surprise myself. I swore to myself that before I applied to the space center that they wouldn't accept a Nyctophobic freak like me. But, I ended up being wrong! They excepted me and.. that's the whole reason that I met Damien. Damien has helped me so much during my time there. The time with the minior, and the way that he gave me all of those accommodations.

He truly is one of the best people I've ever met. Anyways, there is no reason to get starstruck right now of all times. I have to fill out this application before it is too late. After what seems like hours of me doing mental work and filling out papers, I finally get the application done, walk out to the apartment mailboxes, and send the letter out for pickup. I'm extremely tired now. Once I enter the apartment again and get ready for bed, I gesture both Damien and Togedemaru to head to bed with me. As he does most times, Damien says he will come to bed later. I expected this from him. He likes to work on things that he's been hyper-focused on that day. I can't blame him for that though, when I was younger, I found myself doing the same.

I was okay with that. I kissed him goodnight and I crawled into bed. I anticipate that he will be to bed in about a good two hours. I know this because he always and I mean ALWAYS greets me with a cuddle and a soft, muttered, "goodnight". I love him so much. I truly do. As much as I want to stay up, think about him, and appreciate him, I must sleep. Goodnight...
