next update / last update

Narrated by Celeste

At the beginning of the semester, we had to move into a new dorm. Our old one needed a lot of repairs so instead of working around us, they moved us out.

I really like the new dorm, though, so I’m not complaining. The rooms themselves have so much more space and there are lots of places to just hang out and relax.

Michelle and I share a room now which is cool. We’ve gotten much closer now and it’s nice sharing a room with someone I know.

Michael wasn’t so lucky. He got stuck sharing his room with some guy named Curtis. They get along well enough but I know Michael would’ve preferred to share a room with someone who at least had similar interests.

He spends most of his time with me or in the study lounge than his room anyway so he rarely sees Curtis.

A few months ago, he and Michelle were at odds with each other which is unusual for them. I found out that Michael accidentally walked in on Michelle and her old boyfriend, Dominic, fooling around together. He had assumed that she wasn’t seeing him anymore. Or seeing anyone for that matter.

When he finally confronted her about it, she bit his head off saying it was none of his business who she’s with. Of course she’s right but Michael was just looking out for her. He never liked Dominic.

After she calmed down, she told Michael that they ran into each other at the spring festival in March. She still has feelings for him so she invited him over. Michelle’s single so she didn't see what the big deal was.

Michael’s not thrilled about the idea of Dominic hanging around but there's nothing he can do about it.

I know Michael will be relieved to know that Michelle hasn’t been thinking about Dominic at all recently. She started seeing this guy Fidel not that long ago.

Fidel’s a freshman majoring in criminal justice and Michelle seems to really like him.

No matter how late it is when she gets back to the dorm, she fills me in on all the details of their dates.

He’s on the shy side so Michelle often has to make all the moves. But she doesn’t mind too much as long as he’s accepting.

From what she tells me, Fidel seems to really like her, too. So things are going well.

Michelle’s feeling pretty optimistic about him right now but she doesn’t want to rush into anything. It has only been a couple of months and way too early to tell.

Paul seems to be dating someone new, too. I thought he started seeing Shelah exclusively but I guess they have a pretty open relationship.

Nelle is a friend of ours from high school and she and Paul met one night when we were all hanging out.

Paul wasn't really interested in her at first but Nelle's pretty persistent. She usually gets what she wants and Paul was no exception.

They ended up going on a few dates but I'm not sure how much further it's going to go.

They're attracted to each other physically but Nelle thinks that's pretty much as far as it goes. Paul's a pretty tough one to read so who knows how he feels.

Extras:

Alyssa is everywhere! She turned up at the diner while Paul was on his date with Nelle and I swear her face is stuck this way! I watched her this time and she's actually still fuming about the attempted robbery last December. She's so pretty even while making her angry face lol.

And for those who haven't seen, here's the tour I posted on N99 of their new dorm (thanks again Tanja for sharing the awesome dorm!) I used all the same furniture in the dorm since that's how all the dorms were at the college I went to and the college I work at now and tried to let my sims' personalities show through their decor.

The first room I’m showing off is my sim Paul's room. He’s currently a junior majoring in music. Can you tell that he likes music? (click to enlarge)

He's also a slob, if you couldn't tell. I realized that I forgot to put his naughty posters back on the wall. Hopefully I’ll remember whenever I play again. Whenever that will be.

Next up is Michelle’s room. Since Michelle is very neat, I tried to keep her decor neat and tidy. Her fave colors are pink and red.

Celeste has the other side of the room and fave color is purple. She is into tinkering and is majoring in math to prepare for a career in architecture.

Michael has the room right next to Celeste and Michelle's. He’s also a neat freak so I tried to keep it simple and uncluttered.

The roommate he ended up with probably wouldn’t have been his choice. He’s into traveling and space chicks lol.

Tanja had a really nice green room in the dorm but I found that, with the way I play, I most likely wouldn't use it. So I converted into a study lounge.

Notes:

-Grades for the year: Paul - 3.0, Michael - 3.6, Michelle - 3.1, Celeste - 3.6

-The Criminal Justice major that Fidel is in is part of the Missing Majors Uberpack by Whiterider at MTS. I still don't understand why EAxis had it set so that the law enforcement career linked to the biology major so I'm glad someone made majors to match better.

-I can't remember when now but sometime last semester, Michelle and Dominic did hook up in the dorm. It didn't fit in anywhere until they met up again at the Spring Festival and were all over each other. But I suppose they just needed to get it out of their system because neither of them roll wants for each other anymore.

-Michelle and Fidel seem to be pretty infatuated with each other for now. They're only 1 bolters, though, so we'll see if this is a real love connection.
-Paul and Nelle going out came out of nowhere. I was paying attention to Michelle, Michael and Celeste when I heard the first kiss music. It was Nelle getting her first kiss from Paul. And I noticed she kept hitting on him so I sent them out on a date (Paul has the want to have 50 dream dates). Even while on the date, they didn't roll romantic wants for each other so I'm just going to keep an eye on them.

-One more update to go and then it's the end of Round 5, finally! I seem to say that at the end of every round lol.
