Callista arrived in her room close to curfew, like usual. She had spent her free time after dinner in one of the training rooms, going through her own routines and exorcises. It was true that the training given to the candidates was meant to push all the candidates, at times it just didn't seem enough to Callista. These were things she was working through when she was first beginning to condition herself for battle and war.
She had yet to be assigned a roommate, so for the time being she had the room to herself. Which meant that it didn't matter if she used all the hot water for her shower. Thinking about it, considering the average age that the candidates were, it didn't matter of the roommate ended up being male or female, they would probably end up being nothing more then an annoyance. At least that's the feeling she got from the vibe the other candidates were giving her.
Freshly cleaned and dried, Callista moved to check her e-mail account, in case there was anything waiting for her. One never knew when there might be a change of plans for the next day's classes, or who might decide to contact her.
While she waited for her account to come up, she started to braid her hair for the night. She honestly didn't expect to have anything, though was pleasantly surprised when she saw there was one. It was from a pilot, and a Royal rank at that. Somebody must have taken interest in her. Callista read through the e-mail and smiled by the time she got to the end. It seems as though they had really taken an interest in her. Not every candidate was lucky enough to have a mentor. To have a Pilot claiming her this early on, meant that they saw potential in her. She'd have to work even harder now to prove that their decision was not misplaced.
She quickly fired back an e-mail, thanking Pilot Danica for selecting her, and that she looked forward to meeting her monday morning. She made sure to write down the list of reading material that had been recommended for her before she logged off and shut everything down. It seemed as though she'd be making a trip to the library the next day, perhaps first thing in the morning.
Smiling to herself, she settled down on the bed, pleased that the day had gone so well.
