Lost in the World

Round 4: Autumn 2011 (Semester I)

next update / last update

Davina Meadows and Joel Rodriguez are 19

Narrated by Joel

Davina and I decided to move out of the dorms and into the new private housing units on campus this semester so we could concentrate on studying more.

Actually, I think that was my reason for moving out. Davina doesn't spend a lot of time studying.

I'm usually up late into the night writing my term papers or doing class assignments while she's sound asleep. But my classes are pretty demanding.

If it was up to her, she’d be perfectly fine with coasting through each semester by attending the minimum amount of classes and having other people submit her assignments for her. But I've been trying to motivate her to get the work done on her own. She's perfectly capable but she procrastinates.

We do like having our own place even though we don't get to see our friends as often as before. But it's not like we never see them. The housing units are pretty close to the dorms and our friends usually stop by on their way to and from class.

The best thing, though, is having our privacy. We were never alone while living at the dorms and it's great that we can lock our doors and be together whenever we want. I’ll never go back to the dorms.

Before we know it, the semester will be over, and in typical Davina fashion, she still hasn't decided on her major. We've spent a few nights talking about what would happen if she waits too long but that didn’t seem to faze her. The college will automatically assign her to Philosophy and who knows what kind of job she'd get with that degree.

Davina really can't decide what she wants to do, so I've been pointing out the things she's good at to help her. She's very creative and loves fashion, so I suggested she major in art or fashion design.

She's also really into the entertainment industry, so she could get into journalism or something. Or she could help her mother with her businesses. But I can tell she's getting tired of the topic.

The last thing I want to do is cause tension but I want my girl to make up her mind before it’s made for her.

Spam:

Just a little bit of Davina and Joel cuteness while I was searching for a pose for them. I'm going to have to make them a collage and hang it in their unit.

The Twikkii Island greeting is spreading like wildfire throughout the college campus. Sims who I didn't even know interacted with my sims are coming up to Joel, Davina and Paul and greeting them.

Notes:
-Just in case you’re wondering, I’m splitting the college updates into Semester I and Semester II for now. I played around with different ways of doing my updates next round but with the way I decided to go with, I wouldn’t have been able to get a college update in any other way. But hey, we get to see this group of kids again sooner and I don't mind that. Hope you all don't mind, either.
-I still wasn't sure what to do with Davina (and apparently, she doesn’t know either since she never rolls up any major specific wants) so I started looking at her skills and interests. She has 9 in creativity because she used to paint constantly all during high school. As soon as I bought her an easel, she wanted to paint a masterpiece and also buy a sewing machine. So that's where the fashion idea came from. I'm actually a little surprised by it because I didn't see her going into art or fashion. But there ya go.
-I realized while playing them that the other dormies on Joel and Davina's lot are all female and they all have the hots for him. None of them tried anything but they were heart farting all over the place. They better watch out or they'll be getting up close and personal with a cow plant lol.

-I'll post grades after Semster II. Up next: Paul, Michael and Michelle Reid and Celeste's update.
