WAY too early but who cares, I'm going today! This will be my last journal entry before I leave for Green Grove (and ADVENTURE!) via Daniel's phase-teleporter. I've been practising using Opal in 'wrist-mode' lately, wearing it like a watch and typing on the holo-keyboard with my right hand, it's actually pretty easy and fun. I still kind of prefer the usual hold-in-one-hand-type-with-the-other or just put-it-down-and-type-with-both-hands methods, but I want to be prepared to do 'action journalling'! Even though my memory is pretty much perfect for short-term stuff I can easily imagine HEAPS of situations where I'd want to record stuff as it happens, and using Opal in wrist-mode would be perfect for that. Ah, I can't wait! So much exciting stuff is going to happen to me while I'm in Green Grove, I just know it! Where a superhero goes, adventure is sure to follow, that just seems like a basic law of nature, don't you think? Maybe Dad's got it wrong and superheroes don't rise to defeat supervillains, maybe supervillains rise to challenge superheroes!

Wait, that wouldn't be good at all. That would mean that me going into the world would actually CREATE supervillains, which ... oh, rats, I think I just got what Dad's been trying to tell me about balance and everything. Um. But anyway, I'm not going to Green Grove as a superhero, I'm going as a normal girl attending school. That's DEFINITELY not something supervillains rise up against, right? The very idea is ridiculous, 'supervillains rise to challenge ordinary schoolgirls', no no no, certainly not. I'm just going to have to be very good about not using my powers, it'll be tough but I know I'm up to the challenge!

...

Come on, intercom, buzz already, I'm ready, come on come on come on, I could barely sleep last night, I was so excited, also I probably had too many sweets at my going-away party and got kind of hyper playing games, I knocked over the same lamp twice in five minutes. Luckily I wasn't using my super-strength at the time or I could've sent it straight out the window, that would've been embarrassing (although at the same time kind of cool). Control is very important, Mum always says that learning to not use your powers is the most important part of training. With my super-strength I hardly ever have it 'on', otherwise I'd probably do a lot of damage around the house, it comes in handy when you're tidying up, though, being able to lift heavy things to let Botler clean underneath and that kind of stuff. I use my super-agility all the time, though. I guess I have to admit this, I'm naturally kind of a little clumsy, I fall over a lot and drop things, but with my super-agility I can just turn 'falling' into 'an awesome flip' and I've never actually dropped something, if you define 'dropping something' as 'letting it touch the floor'. I always catch it before it can hit the ground. Phase-shifting is easy not to use, of course, I only oh my goodness that's the intercom it's time! It's time I'm going I'm going I'm going yay! Next time I write in this journal I'll be in Green Grove, probably neck-deep in adventure!
