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...
I'm skipping ahead a bit here, to the Friday evening of their final term. So they've got no classes left, just finals as well as submitting term papers.
University Life: Graduation Narrated by Alexander Paraskevas
That Friday evening, the Spice Festival was being held in San Myshuno. Wanting a break from studies and a change in atmosphere, we decided to visit. It also happened to be "Night on the Town", when businesses offered customers free food and drink. "I love the colourful atmosphere of this place," Erytheia said as we queued for drinks. "So many amazing smells and sights." "I know. There's so much to see and do here," Xanthe replied.

"So, how are you feeling about Monday and exams?" I asked. "About as confident as I can be. I mean, I've mastered both cooking and gourmet cooking so that should help a lot. I'm not going to master acting in just a couple of days, but I'm not so bothered about how I do in my elective class." "Yeah, I feel the same way. I mean, I'd like to do well, obviously, but I'm not going to get upset if I don't get an A+."

The next day, I decided it was time to get studying, first by working on my presentation and then by working on my acting skill. I felt rather ridiculous reciting lines dramatically to myself in front of a mirror.
At least I just have to submit a term paper for my acting class rather than do a practical exam, I thought as I sat down at the computer. I wasn't entirely convinced that I was any good at acting. Caroline was over visiting, but of course she couldn't help me out with my paper or it could be regarded as cheating.

Neither Erytheia nor I had really dedicated much time to our respective Spirit Squads, but she had at least purchased a t-shirt and jogging bottoms. Aware that this would be her final opportunity to get involved, Erytheia headed over to the UBrite quad for their Game Day celebration.

I had recently had a few incidents where my spellcasting hadn't succeeded, so I was happy that I was able to fix the coffee machine. No more spending money on a mechanic for me!

And... now it was the end of our time at university. That afternoon, Mum showed up. "Hello, honey!" she said, embracing me. "Your final day of university! Why, it feels like only yesterday you started at primary school." "I know. Time flies by so fast. It doesn't seem real sometimes." "It'll feel even less real when you have children of your own... if you want children, of course." "Oh, I do. You'll get grandchildren at some point." "I don't feel old enough to be a grandmother," Mum laughed. "But I look forward to it."

That evening, once we were all finished, Erytheia cooked us all lobster tortellini. "Mm, this is amazing," I mumbled. "Alexander! Don't talk with your mouth full!" Mum scolded, and the twins laughed.

The next morning was graduation. We all donned our robes and caps and went to our respective stadiums.
