Confused already?
You shouldn't be, I've been dropping hints all the way through.
It's my GRADUATION!!!!!
YAY!!!!
Am I nervous? Hell yeah. This means my carefree college days are now officially over and the 'real world' is beginning.
Obviously, I couldn't celebrate my graduation without Mom and Dad. So I invited them along to party.
But then, along came Berjes Fong, the infamous party crasher and Cow Mascot extraordinaire. It was then that I pleaded silently for him NOT to ruin this momentous occasion.
Only to discover with mounting horror that Mom KNEW HIM!!! He threw a water balloon at her and I waited for her to explode... but she didn't!!!!
I couldn't believe my eyes when they started playing pillow fights in the cafeteria area.
Who would have thought?
Berjes Fong.
And Mom!
Not only that, I also discovered just how - ahem - 'passionate' Mom and Dad really are.
No sooner had they arrived in the dorm, (whilst I was busy sorting out the cheese & chip platter), than they were all over each other like a bad rash.
Sheesh, they were like a pair of teenagers, kissing and making out and generally making a VERY public display of affection.
Considering that these two folks are the most private and conservative people I know, THIS was indeed shocking.
Well, the party went along pretty okay, with people (and my parents) smustling and having fun.
Berjes soon lost interest in pillow fighting with Mom and decided to prank all over the place.
Deliberately setting off the sprinklers (which I felt it was my duty to clean the puddles and took great joy in doing so). I really wanted to leave with a good impression. That I AM a capable and tidy person, and NOT a slob as many people assume us students to be.
I STILL couldn't resist having one more go at Berjes Pong though, for making messes at MY party.
Gatecrasher!!!!
Besides, he upset Dorian too, especially when my fiance wasn't doing anything and had just come back from class.
It party 'wasn't bad'. I tried, really, I tried to circulate between Mom and Dad, but they kept vanishing and I had trouble finding them both.
*sigh*
I am really going to miss all my friends, and hope to keep in touch with them after I leave campus.
Then it was the moment of truth.
Luckily for me, Dad was there to witness my transition. As he stood and watched proudly, I felt the zinging sparkles travelling from my ankles upwards until....
.... POOF!!!!....
Here I am now, a fully fledged adult Sim. Keen and nervous about the next stage of my life. And my life as an adult, was heralded by a thunderstorm, which didn't phase Mom or Dad in the slightest.
I think they were just really happy to have been able to BOTH see me through my graduation and subsequent party afterwards, without any discomfort. Yes it WAS wrong for the two of them to split up the way they did. So very, VERY wrong.
I'd already vacated my dorm room, said my goodbyes and caught a taxi back home to Riverblossom Hills.
No.
Not back to my folks' new home, (it's far too crowded there).
But to a lovely little apartment of my very own.
I know it doesn't look much from the outside.
But it is very spacious inside and just what I was looking for.
Besides....the rent was reasonable, which gave me plenty of money to furnish the apartment to my own tastes (plus more).
The Landlord was quite genial and a cheerful sort of chap, and, from what I heard, quite a party animal himself!!!
I couldn't wait to sign the dotted line and move in.
So now, I settle in, have my first meal in my new place and await for Dorian to graduate too.
I do feel lonely though, and one of my wants at present, is to adopt a pet.
So I was seriously considering adopting a cat. Especially how I really miss Cleo.
Well, that's all I have for today.
I shall leave you with my graduation pic and will keep you all informed of how the entire family is coping of late.
Ta ta for now.
Helen
