At first, I read it as her hating English classes (and to be fair I wasn't that good at English either, too many figures of speech). But still, it could be worse, like her communicating only in Hungarian.

I mean, he wants to. He wants to have friends, but he's just bad at getting them.


Though they play very different types of music, Jimmy is equally obsessed with music and has it as his passion. I figured I was gonna have Jimmy interact with Ernest. He's a pretty social kind of guy as well, so I was thinking he might try and make Ernest his friend weather Ernest likes it or not simply due to shared interests.

I think your post might've suffered from 'submitted but not shown' syndrome. Happened to me when I wrote about 300 words of news story. I think he should, and honestly, just pick the dorm which you think is best for him. If you need a specific suggestion from me, try room 3 or 4. I would get him a nice house, but I think it'd be more fun in a dorm.

In that case, I added him onto the dormitory assignments listings, specifically for room four, along with Blake and Jimmy.

Unfortunate. Take as much time as you need, as I won't be rushing things. Plenty of deeply-interested RPers have still yet to make their applications too, so the timing works out rather advantageously.

REQUIRED INFORMATION
Name: Lawrence "L" Li
Role: Student
Appearance: average build, dark brown hair and eyes, usually dresses in simple styles
Height and Weight:5'8, 152
Short-bio: Lawrence was born in Los Angeles to new immigrants Jill and Dan Li, who had met while studying at UC Berkley. The family had started a small electronics manufacturing firm in Guangzhou in the late 1990s economic boom, and had decided to move back to the US to expand the business. However, following some family disputes and a divorce, Lawrence alternated living with his father in LA and his mother in Vancouver. Though his childhood was never lacking, he still found himself overshadowed by his older half brother, who seemed like the model child with a 4.0 GPA, became student president and headed several school clubs, and graduated from the Harvard Business School. Following the economic recession of 09, his brother moved back to Guangzhou, where he started a consulting firm. Lawrence spent two years living with his brother in China, to "get a sense of his home country", as his mother said. For the past three years, Lawrence has been living with his father, who had moved to Seattle and began a real estate firm to capitalize on the growing housing market. For his last two years of highschool, his parents approved of him moving away to a boarding school.

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTED INFORMATION
Birthday:8/16/2002
Hometown: Various, including Guangzhou, Vancouver BC, Seattle, and LA
Personality: Lawrence is usually quiet, but not shy, especially at first. He can seem aloof to strangers, and it takes him a while to open up, but once he does, most will find him loyal, honest, and terrible at jokes. He is and has always been an independent person, though that doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't enjoy company.
Sexual Orientation: Cis Hetero
Likes: enjoys art and music, generally likes solitary activities (walks, exploring/ traveling, wrenching in the garage and range)
Dislikes: large crowds, competition/ comparison to others, being controlled, people overly political/religions
Skills: avid artist and musician, good problem solver, enjoys driving and shooting
Disorders/Handicaps: Not much of an athlete, sometimes has a short attention span
Fears, Wishes, and Goals:Fear: not being enough, Wish/Goal: to be 'somebody' in life
Distinguishing Marks: Not much
Voice: soft spoken, but firm
Other: he can be pretty stubborn, not a fan of salads but maybe a good chicken caesar JK Potato Salad

I should add, however, that classes have not start yet. Ernest would not have had the opportunity to "play between classes" just yet, since we are still only on the first day, and before the start of the AM assembly.

That time will come, however, though now we're keeping everything to a single time and day to start us off.
