I persuaded myself that I was going to be a mechanical engineer. It was my dream job from high school. When I first entered collage I realized how unrealistic that dream was... I was always falling behind in the subjects that related to the job. It hurt to feel unmotivated by a loved hobby. The problem was I never saw it as more than a hobby. As a student I was unprepared to be pitted against others who took it as a serious career path.
I trace the edge of my vintage microscope as I mumble about the laboratory, equipment and experiments. The students that moments ago seemed excited to be here were shrinking back and some start to shuffle their feet. Perhaps each one has found themselves in the same position I was in not too long ago... unfit to take a hobby to the next level.
My name is Olivia. I love my job, hobbies and creating new solutions to old problems.

Living at Home
Olivia grew up in a suburban home near the edge of a decent sized town. One one side there was another home like hers and the other a older couple living out their days on a small plot of farm land. Olivia loved going over to the farm house, the older gentleman taught her a ton about cars and tractors. She developed strong feelings for fixing the older equipment as the time passed. There was a rough week she had when the old man threw out his back. Of course Olivia was constantly checking in on them that week. At that time was when the tractor broke down again it seemed like a simple problem so Olivia promised the old woman she would take a look at it. It was a simple fix as she thought and it didn't take much time to solve but as the tractor rawred to life the old mare spooked and came bolting out of the barn. The old woman came hollering out of the barn shouting warnings. The mare ran straight to Olivia and stopped she reared her head and stomped her back hoof. Olivia switched the tractor off and attempted to reach for the reins but the old mare reared up and firmly planted a hoof on Olivias shoulder knocking her flat to the ground. She woke up later in the emergency room of a hospital. Even though she had nightmares about horses sometimes she still went over to the old farm. Her father was getting increasingly worried every time he knew that she had left. He ended up spending a ton of money to buy her schematics and things to tinker with at home so she would be less likely to leave so much.
The University Life
After a struggling attempt to keep up with engineering Olivia found that it was too stressful and after talking it over with her parents switched her major. The real pusher was one of her teachers, he figured out she wasn't fit for the job quickly and continuously suggested other career paths. At first she really hated him... eventually she understood he was only attempting to help. It was thanks to him that she met with her genetic engineering teacher who really just seemed to enjoy his work a little too much. He was very immature which constantly made her laugh and enjoy his version of tests.

↳Ezreal is the intelligent type when it comes to animals and fossils.
Just by feeling a bone or fossil, he'll be able to tell what type of animal it was.
↳Ezreal tends to make a lot of jokes all the time, no matter what's happening.
His most famous one happens to be "What do you call a fossil that never wants
to work? Lazy Bones!"
↳Ezreal can be very loud no matter where he is at. If he's in the middle of
looking at a fossil, he'll always get distracted and say something along the lines
of "Hey, look, it's a [insert animal here]!" Other times he'll just shout out random
things.
↳Adventurous is one thing that Ezreal is actually serious about. He always makes
sure he packs the right things, makes sure he has enough money for food, and
wherever he goes, he always learns the language of the people in that area.

Ezreal Stellove
xx I lay here at underneath a tree, and I'm still searching for
that darn amulet. Plumerians say it is the key to all happiness, but as of now,
it's causing me much dismay. So far, I've passed by two scorpions, I've had to
kill one snake (doing so was very unpleasant) and I've befriended three
squirrels. Two of the squirrels ran off but one of them is still following me.
I don't know if he'll still with me until the end of this journey, but if he
does, I may just call him a companion.
Luckily the sun is still out, but it looks like it'll rain soon. Hopefully I can find
the amulet before the rain comes. Wait. Is that a snake I hear? I better st"
The journal entry stops there.xxTHERE IS No TImE FOR A HEADING. ALTHOUGH THE
SNAKE IS NOT POISONOUS IT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO BITE ME. IM WRITING
THIS
WITH MY
LEFT PAW AND I ONLY HAVE SUCH FEW MEDICAL SUPPLIES
HOPEFULLY I CAN USE THESE LeEFS TO HELP ME
--
They leaves and the supplies I had managEd to work, but my writing is still
wonky. Thank God it wasn't a poisonous snake. I know these journal
entries are dumb toyou, but to me it'll be a real treasure. Someday I'll
look back and think, "heh, I remember that."
I'm getting a little dizzy actualy. Ohh, look, I sppeled that word wrong.
Have you ever realized what pretty sounds birds make? And the sound of
squirrels' footsteps is very enjoyable, too. I named the squirrel Josh.
Joosh. That has a funny tone. Huh. Josh. Josh. Jo..
The journal entry stops there. He must have been bitten by a snake
and might have gotten all woozy.
Thank you wrote:Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in
an event like this! I've been trying to get a plumie for a while now, and
this one really caught my eye. I really felt like I poured my heart into this one <3
I've already said my art credit, already done most of the form, and now
it's time for me to say farewell.
Good luck to all, and an early congratulations to whoever wins this one!
