All good things had to come to an end, though, and one of them was the Science Decathlon and her time in middle school. With a heavy heart, she bid farewell to Mr. Middlesex and Cosmos after-school, and proceeded to Adessi. Her mother and father had met there, her elder siblings had attended as well, and now it was her turn. For the first few weeks, Abbey languished; she was unfamiliar with the expectations of dorm life, uncertain of how to proceed without a parent or sibling haranguing her. When she realized her time, and her space, was now her own…
Well.
She accumulated space memorabilia like it was going out of style. Her parents provided an allowance for room decorations: She bought a log scale chart of the world and a subway map-esque rendition of the Milky Way. She got glow-in-the-dark stars and stuck them to her ceiling in the shapes of constellations. She bought a subscription to Astronomy Now and Sky and Telescope. She bought a calendar with the lists of major astronomy events and she stuck it on her wall and she held to it like her personal life depended on it because she'd never been allowed to before.
Her parents commented on it when they came to pick her up for Christmas. Of course they were disappointed, but for once, it seemed to roll off her back. For once--for once--she could learn as much about space as she wanted and she wasn't going to deny herself that chance just to please her parents. Which made her think: what else was she doing just because?
She rebelled, and hard. They came back with a guilt trip that slapped her back, and that she's still recovering from, based on her mother's health, which became poor around Christmas break when she had a heart attack; how could you do this to your mother, you know she's unwell, how can you want to do something when we've already given you so much!
Abbey has not been pressing herself to succeed much lately, having been reminded that she can daydream all she wants, but space is not something in her reach.
Approved! Feel free to friend add other characters, the mod journal, the logs and ooc journal, and add social link/profile/CR posts in your character's journal.
