University Life: First Exams
Narrated by Alexander Paraskevas
The night before our first set of exams, both of the twins' parents popped over for a visit.
"It's nice to see you, Alexander," Caroline said. "How is university going?"
"It's fine, thank you," I replied. "We've got finals tomorrow."
"Oh, good luck," she said. "It might be nerve-wracking, but just try and relax."
"Thanks for the advice," I said. "Hopefully I'll do well."
"I'm sure you will. Your mother tells me you're a smart young man."
(For those who don't know, Caroline Masterson and Anastasia Paraskevas are best friends).

I went off to my first exam mindful of Caroline's advice. I reassured myself that I'd done plenty of preparation and that the questions therefore shouldn't prove too difficult.

Whilst doing some last-minute revision for my next exam, I heard someone rushing upstairs and, just a couple of minutes later, the sound of someone throwing up and then the toilet being flushed. I had a horrible feeling that it was Erytheia, and I hoped she was OK.

A couple of hours later, I sat next to Erytheia, who was eating a sandwich. Good, she can't be feeling too bad.
"Hey, are you OK? Was it you being sick earlier?" I asked.
"Yeah, it was," she said. "I was just really nervous. Thanks for being concerned."
"Well, he is your boyfriend," Xanthe said from the computer, where she was working on a (very last minute) term paper. "If he wasn't concerned, that would make him a bit mean."
"Yeah, good point. But concentrate on your paper! You've only got a couple of hours left!" Erytheia warned.

That evening, I summoned my familiar Ribbit and worked on my magic. I managed to learn the Scruberoo spell, as I'd wanted.

At 6pm, I got a notification on my phone to tell me that results had been released.
Wow, they managed to mark those exams pretty quickly! I thought.
I was surprised to learn that I had received A+ on all my courses.
"Hey, how did you do?" I asked Erytheia.
"Two A+s, an A- and a B," she replied.
"Oh, right. That's still pretty good."
"Yeah, I'm not disappointed," she replied. "I could definitely have prepared more for that course. Still, it's over now, and time to think ahead to our next term."
Again, we all chose to complete three core classes and one elective. I chose a parenting class, Erytheia chose a painting one, and Xanthe (who'd achieved three A+s and one A) chose a mixology class.

The next morning, I had an opportunity to use the Scruberoo spell. I muttered the incantation and instantly felt much cleaner. Ah, such a useful spell. Having a bath was nice and relaxing, but Scruberoo would be handy when I didn't have much time.

That day happened to be Summer Festival day - and appropriately hot - so we all dressed accordingly. Whilst Erytheia was practising her painting skill, and I was working on some homework, the lights went off.
"Ugh, we forgot to pay the bills on time!" Erytheia groaned. "That's one part of adulthood I never really thought about."
After a couple of minutes, though, the lights came back on.
"Ah, good old Xanthe," Erytheia said, turning back to her easel.

That evening, once classes were done, I celebrated the day by barbecuing some elote and playing with the water sprinkler.

The next day, the weather was still hot, so I decided to challenge Erytheia to a water balloon fight.

The gravestone is actually of the old Masterson family cat, Coco. Erytheia had been invited to the family home in San Myshuno, and when she got there I was surprised to see Coco's urn there, as I thought urns/tombstones didn't appear unless the Sim or pet died on screen. Erytheia decided to take it back to Britechester for now. I'm planning to build a cemetery lot somewhere, where I'll be able to put the tombstone permanently.
