I decided to document the lives of generation 2 of my Masterson Family in their own thread, mainly so I could keep all their updates in one place. Who They Are The title is pretty much self-exp...
University Life: End of Summer and End of Term Narrated by Alexander Paraskevas
In what felt like no time at all, it was nearly the end of term again. We gathered in the kitchen for a joint homework session.

Like most students, I didn't particularly enjoy writing essays. I know this sounds daft for a Language and Literature student to say... I didn't mind the actual classes themselves. The content was pretty interesting. Perhaps it's more that I knew that these essays were going to be formally marked and counted towards my degree, and I just felt a little like mine wouldn't be any good. Given my four A+s at the end of the term, my worry was clearly somewhat irrational, but then worries often are.

I also had to do a presentation that term. Yet again something I disliked... PUBLIC SPEAKING. Given that I fancied being an author and anticipated working from home quite a lot, I wasn't exactly thrilled about it. Then again, there was a guy in my class who wanted to be a lawyer and still didn't like public speaking much. And that guy was going to have to speak in public for a living...
We decided to head over to the Laurel Library for a change of atmosphere. I was surprised at how small it looked; I hoped we'd be able to find somewhere to sit.

Thankfully, the library was pretty empty, and we all sat down to do some work together. It definitely felt like a good place to study; our house was comfortable, but we could be easily distracted.

As well as a couple of computers, there were also three research machines. I needed to work on my term paper, but other people always seemed to be sitting there. Finally, I was able to grab a seat, and Erytheia sat down to use a research machine to study for one of her classes.

Back at home, I continued to work on my paper when... "Dang it!" I yelled. "What?" Xanthe asked. "I got a blue screen of death," I explained. "And I was working on my term paper. Ugh, I hope it saved..." Xanthe waved her arms and uttered the Repairio spell. Whoomph! I was soon able to switch on the computer, and was relieved to notice that my work had been saved. "You need to learn Repairio," Xanthe grinned. "What if Erytheia is out at work one day and you're left home alone?" "I'm going to learn it, don't worry," I smiled. "But university work is my priority right now." "Fair enough. I need to go and work on my homework right now."

Monday was finals day. After my first exam of the day, which I thought had gone OK, I realised that I should go and deliver my presentation. I felt nervous as I clutched my notes. You'll be fine, you've done plenty of preparation, I thought.

Later that evening... "So, how did you do, Erytheia?" Xanthe asked. "All A+s this time," she grinned. "Thank Plumbob for that. I'd have been so annoyed if I'd earned below an A, I put in so much effort." "Yeah, I understand," Xanthe nodded. "I got all A+s too. How did you do, Alex?" she added. "Only two A+s for me," I replied. "But the others were As, and I still have a A+ GPA overall." "Just one term left!" Erytheia grinned. "What elective are you doing this term?" "I went for a comedy one. I want to try something new." "Oh cool. Sounds like a laugh, har har har. I'm doing the acting one."
