next update / last update

Narrated by Paul

This is my last year at UCC so I'm trying to get prepared. I can't wait to be outta here. I've been looking for apartments downtown and I found a couple of places I really like.

The one place I really love is a converted warehouse downtown. The only downside is that the place is huge and way too much space for just me. I’d have to think about roommates to cut the cost and fill all that space.

Shelah is the most likely candidate but I don’t know. I care about her a lot but I think she’d want things to become more serious if we lived together, and I'm just not ready for that yet. Everyone else I’m close with isn’t graduating for another year or so, or are girls I’ve fooled around with. And I’m definitely not moving in with any of them.

It’d be cool to share the place with Michael but he’d bring Celeste with him. I don’t have a problem with Celeste but those 2 are inseparable and it kind of makes me sick.

I don’t think I could stomach their sweetness on a daily basis. Even in this big dorm, I end up walking into some of their make out sessions, so I don’t even want to think about how often it’d happen if we shared an apartment. I'm no prude but I don't want to see that all the time.

And Michelle isn’t an option either. She’s been dating Fidel for over a year now and they seem pretty serious.

If they’re still together by the time they graduate, I’m sure they’ll want a place of their own.

I’m not seeing anyone seriously but I’ve been dating around. I started going out with this girl Gloria that lives in our dorm a few months ago but I'm already tired of her.

For one, she's kind of moody. One minute we'll be having a great conversation and then the next minute she gets all frigid and disagrees with everything I say. We don't have to agree about everything but she doesn’t have to be a snob about it.

And then while we were eating dinner, she barely paid attention to anything I said. So, unless something changes, that’ll be my last date with her.

At least I've been lucky with my music. I scored a little gig already at this bar called Beatnik's in Summit Heights. I've been playing there a couple of days during the week for some extra cash and to get my name out there.

I don't have much of a following yet but a bunch of the college kids have found their way there to support me. And even though not many people pay much attention to me while they’re eating, I enjoy being on stage.

After my set, I end up hanging out there the rest of the day playing poker and pool until my class starts.

I’ve gotten pretty good at poker which has come in handy since I don't make a lot in tips. I’m hoping that things will really take off once I graduate.

Extras:

Michelle and Fidel are so cute. If they have babies together, I might just have to make them all rhyme lol. Chanel, Danielle, Marcel, Noelle LOL.

Notes:
-I didn't have Davina and Joel's grades at the end of their play session but here are everyone's grades: Paul: 3.1, Davina: 3.3, Joel: 3.8, Michael: 3.6, Michelle and Celeste: 3.5
-Paul graduated! When I first sent him to uni, I didn't think he'd make it because he very rarely rolled school related wants but he did it. And his GPA wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, either.
-The awesome apartment Paul was looking at was built by Maisie for Carla for a project at N99. I really love it but it’s just too big for Paul by himself. I’m looking at some other places in case I can’t find a roommate for him by the beginning of 2013.
-It didn’t fit into this update but I changed Michael’s major to biology this year. I used Starr and Carla’s systems to double check his future career and he fits into science and natural science, not law. I don’t know why I originally thought he’d be a lawyer but he’s all switched now.
