Finished chapter 1! lol

I have to agree that this was just an extended introduction/prologue. Actually, this is probably why we had that prologue the way we did, to try to convince the reader that yes, there was going to be action beyond almost getting run over by coaches and getting your only socks splashed by street "mud". (Ok, he had another pair of socks, but he was saving them).

My impression was that the first half of the chapter was drier and then it got more readable, so I'm hopeful that I'll start getting more into it once something actually starts happening.
