How Am I Adjusting?

I just got back from an Interview with Steel.
Not the type of Q&A that I would love to have with him,
No, he did all the question asking.
Mostly checking in on me to see how I'm adjusting to life at the Tower.
Mostly. He wanted to hear I thought progress on getting the collar off my neck was going as well.

Can we just say...Not well? In all aspects of my life currently?
School is kicking me into the crevice right now. A nice deep slippery ice covered crevice.

I can now see why Supers don't go to normal high school with all us normal kids. It's just too depressing. Even the geeky supers can run faster then me it seems like. They answer questions sooner, know more history. It's ugh. I feel like I'm in Jr. High all over again. Not good years for me. I hadn't reached my growth spurt yet. I had braces. And basically had "Come shove me in a locker" written all over me.
It hasn't gotten to that point yet. Getting shoved into a locker. I can manage that tripping over my feet in P.E. quite nicely by myself without any of the others feeling the need to do it for me.

I just wish that I had something to show for all this effort. I mean, this is a dream come true for me. I'm in the tower! But unfortunately I'm not meeting my own dream expectations. I mean, in my dreams I'm the cool guy, the one who saves the day. With awesome powers! And in reality, I'm the one spilling ecknogoo in science, and melting a hole through three levels of the building. Definitely not cool.  

That doesn't even include all the odd and crazy things I have to go through on the side without all the schooling. It seems like I can't even step outside of my room without there being a Super there waiting to try out a new idea on how to get the collar off, or how to get me to show my powers.

Apparently, once I bridge that gap, and manage to use my powers once, the glaciers will melt and the powers will come flooding into me and I'll be able to use them much easier. I just have to drill deep enough into the glacier to find my power.

That obviously hasn't happened yet, or I would be way more excited.
So can we just say that I'm Not adjusting Well?
I can here.
To Steel though,
I don't want to disappoint him. I mean, he's my Hero! I don't want to tell him that I'm not happy here. That I'm disappointed in myself that I haven't shown any ability for anything yet. I feel so useless so far! I'm just a sitting time bomb for when Surge finds me. The only comfort I can take is that, if I don't have any powers, he can't use me against all the heroes.
It would just be, really really lame. Look, here's Issac! The 'hero' who doesn't do anything! But because he can't do anything, Surge can't do anything!

Ugh. Please. Please before I go stir crazy. Let me have my powers show up! It's been nearly a month now! Surely I don't have to wait the full 8 months. Right?

I hope to the Iced over Crevice that I don't.

Layters!
