Clarissa's Roommate Part 10: What does she do?
🕑 Added 2025-02-20 06:44:09 +0000 UTCWhat did she major in? What does she do in the narrative "present"? Give me your suggestions, and then we'll vote.
Considerations:
I'm thinking whatever she studied in school she should do professionally. While that doesn't always happen in real life it helps keep things focused for her character.
UCB is well known internationally for sciences and engineering (there are two different elements named after it!), although in theory she could come to study anything. That said, if she was studying something like medieval French history it would have made more sense to do it in Europe, since she already lives there.
The other girls' majors are:
Clarissa - Physical Anthropology (Archaeology)
Miyuki - History, Asian focus
Lyta - Engineering, Aeronautical (Lyta got an MS in the same time the others were getting their BAs, because she's actually a genius sometimes.)

Oh right, you guys don't let anyone drink untill 21. Oh well chemistry is still usefull for the other thing we consume copious ammount in the nordics, Cafeine.

I'll echo Astronomy, with the suggestion that one (or all?) of the other characters constantly get it confused with Astrology.

When I let everyone know I was breaking the tie on the poll somebody rushed over and broke it the other way - so she ended up being from Norway after all. She might still want to do her own distilling though - foreign alcohol is readily available, but the minimum drinking age is 21, and she'd be 18 when she started.

Maybe Astronomy?

She's an Irish, obiously chemistry so she can make her own Guinness and Whiskey(because the stuff americans call whiskey is attrocious)
Brent Hitchcock
Medieval warfare?
Jaxton Dragoon
How about marine biology? Gives us a good excuse to see her in (and out of) wetsuits and other swimwear.
Andy Mayer
Maybe studying English or some form of art?
