(Author's Note:
Hey guys, I thought that the previous way I told the time is very vague since it shows the month and the year only. I will now put it, for your convenience, in a diary entry form.
If you don't like it, feel free to comment me via pm or just comment on the paragraph. ;)
Thank you and sorry for interrupting! Enjoy!)

Can this day get any more boring? All of our work has been handled with us, we wrote exams about it and now we are just sitting in the class preparing for our finals.
At least Biology was interesting, I talked to Julia.

(CONVERSATION)
Julia:
So, um, Tyler, are you going in the science profession like your dad?
Tyler:
I don't think so, no. I am kind of unmotivated since my dad... passed away.
Julia:
But then what are you going to do? You used to love working with the chemistry.
Tyler:
Well, I sat awake countless nights thinking about that same exact question and I decided that I am going to join the U.S. Army. I know, it is completely different from what I usually do but it's for my country, I want to make myself proud, get fit and begin my own life, not one that I copied after my dad.
Julia:
What will you do after you are done with your training?
Tyler:
I... I don't know... That is another reason I am going to join the forces. I want to clear my head from all this nonsense and when I get back... I just want a fresh start, you understand what I'm trying to say?
Julia:
Yes, Tyler. I really hope that the army helps you clear your mind.
Tyler:
Thank you, Julia. Enough about me, what do you want to do next year?
Julia:
Well, I am continuing in the field of biology and I'm either thinking of continuing our family bussiness or I am going to start my own firm.
Tyler:
What will you specialise in?
Julia:
I'm thinking more of animals, rather than people. Just like you, I want to go in my own direction, seperate from my family. I also plan to tour around a lot, moving from one site to the other, helping all the animals that can't help themselves. It's like I'm almost going on a duty, but for the animals and I love it!
Tyler:
Well, I hope to see you on the cover of a newspaper or magazine soon.
Julia:
Oh, wow, um... thank you, very much, he he.
