[h2][color=0054a6]Simon Algard[/color][/h2] While most of the students were spending their time mingling, flirting, or just getting acclimated, Simon avoided the chaos and headed to the place he felt most at home: the library. The thing he hated most about being away from the academy was that he was cut off from the vast stores of knowledge that were at his disposal. In his time away from school, he had already created a reading schedule for himself and already knew the books he wanted for his first week of school. In addition to his assigned readings, of course. Upon exiting the library, he felt like a packhorse. His bags still held all the books he would need for his classes, plus his newly checked-out collection that he didn't have time to drop off at his room. Simon loved his books, but he just wished paper wasn't so damn heavy.
