And How Impatient They Are!

So all week long, since I posted the last two chapters of Diary of an Agent's Sister, I was thinking that I deserved a break from writing. I mean, I'm taking a full course load here at school (six classes, fifteen credits) and I figured my creative juices were completely burned out. I had always intended there to be a sequel, which in my mind was always called 'Diary of an Agent's Girlfriend'. Now, though, I don't think it'll be called that, simply because Sascha is not just an agent's girlfriend, she's an agent herself. Nor is she defined by her relationship to others. She isn't 'Jack's sister' any more than she is 'Alex's girlfriend'. She is Sascha Dell. That being said, I'm still working on titles. Maybe 'Diary of an Agent in Training'?
We'll see.

One of my roommates recently mentioned that maybe my beloved couple should go to college. Originally, my response was no, there is no need for them to go to college. They'll get their formal training, and then start their careers. Today, though, Sascha started popping into my head. Honestly, she usually only speaks to me when I ask her to. She NEVER takes over like that. It went something like this:

Jordan sat quietly in her Humanities class, listening to her eccentric teacher project to the class of twenty.
"I want to go to college," Sascha whispered quietly.
"You don't need to go to college. You have a job."
"But...I want to go to college. Please Jordy?"
"You won't have time. What, do you plan on just ignoring your classes every time you're on a mission?"
"I can take online classes."
"Doesn't that defeat half the purpose of going to college?"
"I'm sure I can figure something out. I'll only take a few credits, register as a part time student."
"Oh really, and what would you study?" Jordan asked, trying to both think of more reasons for Sascha to not go to college, and trying to focus on the importance of creativity.
"I...don't really know. I can take some biology classes. Or child care and development, that'd come in handy. Oh, and I should probably take some more language classes. Like Chinese! Wouldn't it be great if I learned Chinese?"
"I mean, what would your major be?"
"Well, I don't necessarily need a degree in anything. I just want to go to college."
"But...I don't...it doesn't...Ugh. Alex, what do you think?"
Alex shrugs. "Why not? Could be fun," he says in his nonchalant way.
"You are no help!" Jordan mentally screams in frustration.
"Yeah, I might take some classes too."
"Shut up Alex, you're only making it worse. Besides, you guys have seen me these past few days. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and it's only my first week! Going to college is a lot of work! Besides, I'll barely be able to write much each week, which means you guys will get neglected a lot. You want that?"
Sascha smiled. "Between work and school, maybe we'll be so busy that we won't notice!"
"You guys, I...fine. I give up. You can go to college."
"Thanks Jordy!"
"Cool."
"Don't talk to me."

So, as you can see, on top of everything else, I guess I'm going to start writing book two already. And, I guess...Sascha and Alex are going to college. Heaven help whatever school they end up at.
