Round 13: University (Magdalena, Ottilie and Leo)
My best friend Araminta decided to skip college and look for a job instead, so I've arrived at Moretti Hall alone for my freshman year. I got down to work straight away, because I knew I'd end up getting distracted by social activities if I waited.

Women and unicorns
Round 13: Days 61-65
Galen thinks I don't know what he gets up to when I'm at work and Samson's at school. He's hardly discreet, so I don't know why he would assume that. Probably because I've never mentioned it to him.
I've known at least since Sam was a toddler but as long as he seems happy, I don't want to rock the boat. Sam is a very well-adjusted boy - he plays his violin and he brings his little friends home from school. He lives a very normal life. I don't want to do anything to upset that.
And he loves his Dad. I think it would break his heart if we broke up.
Crappy husband he may be but Galen is a good father to Sam.
And to be honest, as much as I resent Galen's cheating, I still love the guy too.
I've never actually seen Galen with another woman, so I can usually put it out of my mind when we're together. I can't help but be reminded of it when one of his many women has the nerve to call him at home. I certainly give them a piece of my mind then!
I'm sure it didn't stop them from dropping by when they knew I wasn't home though.
Sigh. I don't think this situation is ideal for any of us but for now but as long as it's all hidden from Sam and Galen has the decency to not flaunt his infidelity right in front of me, I guess this is the best we can do.Notes:
- Georgette does. not. care. about Galen's cheating. I thought it might be her Romance secondary (her autonomy is set to Spouse Only, if you were wondering) but no. Her jealousy setting is 2, which I believe means she should get jealous when anyone she's in love with cheats on her. But she doesn't. So I guess she's a stay-together-for-the-kids type of Sim.
- Not an awful lot happened this round, which is why this is mostly Georgette's thoughts. Galen barely even had time to cheat! He actually did some work this round and got promoted all the way to Rock God.
Helter skelter
Round 13: Days 61-65
Maybe I should have started my own business instead of going into journalism! Elias has Drusilla as manager now, so he can pretty much set his own hours and sit around in his pyjamas watching TV with Moses all day. As he frequently does. Some Fortune Sim he is!
He does work hard keeping his store in stock though. Drusilla is just as capable as he is at pottery but he's determined to make sure that Elias's Earthenwares is not just a name! On my days off, I go out to the backyard and paint while he makes his pots, just like when we were in college.
Ottilie and Leo are away at college and it's too far away for them to come and visit frequently (or so they say, anyway!) but I still see my sisters Petra and Mina regularly.
Mina is pretty heavily pregnant so she usually had to rush into our bathroom when she arrived, leaving me and Petra to gobble up all the waffles. Yes, we're eating waffles for dinner!
I'm well past my childbearing days and have discovered it's much more fun to watch someone else go through it all now. I can't believe my little sister has a 5 year old at home and is pregnant with her second!
The only parenting I'm doing these days is with our fur-baby, Moses. When we bought Moses, they told us he was a genius. I don't know what kind of a genius would sleep in a dirty rain puddle when there was a nice, dry bed for him inside.
Elias wouldn't let this entry go by without me updating you a bit on his business. Elias's sister-in-law Simona dropped by the other day, looking for some pottery to inspire her students in the new high school's art room.
So it's all going well, though Elias has been having trouble with loiterers lately.
As you might be able to see, there's not really enough space in his store for kicky bag. Elias loves his store but he's starting to wonder if he should have bought a bigger lot.
Back at home, this creepy guy has started to follow me home from work. It's the same guy who I caught in Ottilie's bedroom when she was a little girl, so to say I'm unsettled is an understatement.
He freaks me out a little, so I try to be polite so as not to anger him but he gets upset anyway. You're probably wondering why we don't call the police. We would but the police here don't seem to care about anything except burglary.
Oh, God, how did this picture get in here?!? No wonder I'm putting on weight! Cookies for breakfast? Real healthy, Nathalie!
I'm not crying about my weight gain though - I'm not that vain! No, I had thought my job as a media magnate was fairly secure but I was a little too honest about the art hanging in one of the head honcho's offices and he busted me down to magazine editor. I'm over it now because I know I can work my way up again but I was really beating myself up about it for a while.
Having Elias's support really helped me through it.Random funny:
Synchronised...art gesturing?!Notes:
- Mina drops over autonomously every couple of days, which is cute. I wonder if she'll drop over at Petra's too, because she's always been closer to her.
- Mohawk Guy comes home so often with Nathalie that he is now BFF with her, without me ever directing them to interact.
- I swear, I will do everything in my power to never have to play empty nesters again! Staying interested in them is quite a struggle for me!

Round 13: Days 61-65
Narrated by Araminta Benton.
I wouldn't say this week had been the most exciting week ever. The sky has been grey almost every single day and it is so depressing. I miss summer - it's so far away.

Round 13: Days 61-65
Over at the Carmody place, Vivienne was making sure she was on her boss Nathalie's good side. She hoped to have her boss's job one day and she wanted to be first in line to replace her when Nathalie ever retired.
Hopefully, Anna (who was the spitting image of her older sister) would not be as demanding a toddler as Betsy was. If that was the case, sucking up to her boss might be the only way Vivienne could earn a promotion. There certainly wouldn't be much time for skilling.Possibilities
Round 13: Days 61-65
Augustin and Hanna's new house was much bigger than their campus housing and they didn't really have the money to decorate it any more than sparsely. The walls would remain bare for a while - they were in enough debt.
Augustin and his girlfriend Hanna became parents in college, to twins James and Naomi.
They have now graduated and moved back to Sullivan, where Augustin grew up.

Sister saviour
By the age of 8, Trent Kirby had insisted on taking over full responsibility of the Kirby farm's crops, which were previously the domain of his dad, Brandon.You and me
Post college, Filippo got a job in the gaming industry and moved into a little house in Sullivan. He had to take out a substantial loan to buy the house. To pay off his mortgage (low level gaming jobs didn't pay enough), he planned to fix up old junker cars and sell them.
