Is a college degree worth it? An experiment (Concluded, with results)

Getting her to robotics level 3 was a pretty big hurdle at first though. It took a couple of days to do that. On Wednesday she was promoted to Cog in the Machine. $49/hour, 9 hours 5 days a week.

Yeah!

Duck mainly built her robotics skill by reading the skill book. Duck may be the smartest one of the bunch.

Truffle got all excited at the utili-bot contest

and met a real live servo! (also a blond guy named Hiroto)

And then she came home and… well, she puts the “cute” in “electrocute”

Maybe I’ll go work on my term paper instead

The instant she touched the computer, it broke. Go to bed, girl! Brother took over the computer situation.

Truffle might not be cut out for robotics.

She and Bargain both got their presentations to Excellent quality and gave them on the first day of the term, so that’s out of the way. Term papers are next. They’re hard at work, but still socializing

Angela keeps coming over and calling Bargain. It’s always Bargain that she calls. He’s started to be a little more open to connecting with her. They had a sort of intimate dinner

And then she didn’t go home. Even after being sent home. She spent the night watching TV and cleaning the grill repeatedly.
Awkward hellos with sister in the morning

I thought she would at least go home to sleep but I guess not. What is she avoiding at home?

While asleep on the couch, she called Bargain to invite him on a date (?)

Sure! Yes, okay! Will this get you off my couch?

They went on their date but a lot of the conversation turned out awkward. Angela left embarrassed.

And then she came over and was randomly angry at Bargain. Maybe he doesn’t need this?

They went to the humor and hijinks festival. Truffle flirted with Hiroto a little more. She told an unusually powerful flirtatious joke in a group conversation and suddenly Mortimer Goth noticed her in a big way… hmmm

They helped the Pranksters win at the festival. They collected their prize money, sold the voodoo dolls and fireworks, and that combined with the garden income (yes Duck, your 3 days of paychecks helped a little bit) paid for a nice renovation to the house. They now have a dining room, a downstairs half bath, 3 bedrooms, and a couple of other amenities.
