Been out for a while, but I'm back trying to play catch-up.<br/><br/>First, to address the "academic" question -- Spencer is smart, but to quote dozens of teachers and counselors, "doesn't apply himself" -- though there could be a reason for that.  He isn't strong in math, okay in science (depending on the science), is a wiz in history, English, literature, etc, though his grades don't necessarily reflect it.  Still, a solid B+ student.<br/><br/>Also, regarding where to start.  I think it would be fun to go back to the beginning of the school year, but it would also probably mean the death of the game.  I'll miss playing out some of the events, though.  Flashbacks, maybe?
