Christine: 8.3 “Studies”

Last time with the Diffys, Christine finished her first term at uni, started dating Eddy Mullis, and all three Diffys went on a vacation to Champ Les Sims together. This time…

Before returning to university, Christine attended a party hosted by someone (I really can’t remember who it was now) who lives in one of the high rise apartments in Storybrook City.

Anyway, Faith was there, and we found out that she and Lyle are married now.

I really think Faith is quite pretty.

These two take advantage of their alone time.

In the morning, Tom is back to his favorite hobby: evil dancing.

Gwendolyn: “Are you excited to see your boyfriend again?”

Christine: “Yeah–”

Gwendolyn: “When will we get to meet him?”

Christine: “Oh, well … We’re really busy with studies, you know? But I’m sure eventually we’ll just, uh, have to arrange it.”

Gwendolyn: “Okay, no pressure, then.”

Gwendolyn: “I’m going to miss you, of course.”

Christine: “I’ll miss you, too, Mom.”

Christine: “Bye, Dad!”

Tom: “Love you, Christy.”

Christine: “I love you, too.”

This time Tom is the one blowing kisses.

You guys could face the truck, you know.

Tom: “And actually watch her leave? That would be way too sad.”

Back at university.

And a gnome showed up while we were gone. It’s a mystery how he got here.

Christine met Eddy at the coffee shop.

Eddy: “So I heard Sam is throwing a back to school party tomorrow.”

Christine: “As if she needs the excuse. Wanna go?”

Eddy: “Yeah, I’ve heard a lot about her parties. Should be fun.”

Christine: “Seeing family again during break was the best! I really missed my parents.”

Eddy: “Really?”

Christine: “Of course. Hey, want to get something to eat? I’m starved.”

Eddy: “Sure.”

Christine: “Wow, props on eating salad at a burger place. I don’t have that much willpower to eat healthy.”

Eddy: “Actually, I just love salad. I’m vegetarian, and salads are usually my only option at places like this, so I grew to love them.”

In the morning, Christine gives herself a very loud pep talk.

Christine: “Always keep moving forward! If you’re tired, if you’re sore, if you’re frustrated, just keep moving!”

And back to class.

Christine and Eddy share most classes since they are both art majors.

Between classes, Christine notices some students working on the group science project.

Christine: “I was wondering what you guys are doing over here.”

Gabby Ahmed: “We’re working to see how radio waves and other effects can change Sims’ moods.”

Christine: “Oh, cool. Is this for a class?”

Gabby: “No, we’re doing it for science! And to put on our resumes, of course.”

Christine: “Your resume? So do you already know what career you want after school?”

Gabby: “Of course! I want to work in a lab that develops new medecines. Hopefully what I create will help people with mental illnesses because that’s what I want to focus on.”

Christine: “That’s really noble. Good luck.”

After class, Christine and Eddy plan to meet here at Sam’s party.

Jacob Salaman: “I heard these parties are streaking friendly.” *creepy smile*

Christine: “Where is Eddy?”

Christine found Eddy upstairs playing guitar (please ignore the professor who crashed the party).

Christine: “I didn’t know Eddie was so good at playing guitar.”

The two of them were fairly drunk and decided they wanted some alone time, so they quickly found some privacy in one of the bedrooms.

Things escalated behind the locked door.

Eddy: “Do you want to?”

Christine: “I haven’t done it before, but I’d like to try.”

Eddy: “I haven’t either. Are you sure?”

Christine: “Yeah, let’s do it.”

Christine gets a text from Eddy the next night.

But she has a few things to think about and decides that she’d rather sleep alone.

Good morning, singing fish!

Christine has her sketching class.

She was really concentrating here.

Christine: “Dr. Elrod, you wanted to see me?”

Elrod: “Yes, I wanted to ask you if you have figured out your plans for after you graduate. Do you know what you’ll be doing?”

Christine: “Honestly, no. I’m still working out my plans.”

Elrod: “I’ve noticed that many of your sketches are of buildings and interiors. Have you thought about being an architectural designer?”

Christine: “No … I think I draw rooms and buildings because I like thinking about people living in my drawings.”

Elrod: “Okay. Well, I just wanted to give you an idea. A job like that would also require working with clients quite a bit, and with your social personality I think it would be a good fit.”

Christine: “Hmm. I’ll think about it.”

Christine goes to the coffee shop again. This seems to have been my favorite spot to send her to.

She tried group studying with Tiffany Angles, but I thought they would go sit down to do so, lol.

Tiffany: “I’m a phys ed major; we aren’t going to be able to help each other here.”

Christine: “Just stop being so negative and quiz me! I’ll do the same for you.”

Tiffany: “Okay, umm … This artist pioneered the cubism movement. Who is it?”

Christine: “Picasso! Easy.”

Tiffany: “Give me one.”

Christine: “Umm … Where is the gastrocnemius muscle located?”

Tiffany: “Simple. It’s in the back compartment of the leg, below the knee.”

Being a vampire seems to suit Tiffany.

She’s just making the best faces.

But when Rex Lovelace pretends he’s a stripper, it’s time to go.

Luckily Christine got a text from Sam reminding Christine of another party.

Lots of laundry piling up; just like a real dorm!

Lots of streaking again.

Lol, when a streaker runs outside during the winter, they change into their outerwear but still act as though they are streaking. xD

To end this chapter, my frustration with the school mascot:

Christine: “Hey! Get back here!”

Mascot: “I have very specific hours. They abruptly end every time you walk into the student union.”

>:I Stop becoming unclickable! He’s done this like three times. I want Christine to learn the mascot skill!

Next time: We’ll be seeing Eddy again and lots of studying for finals!

Also, I just started a new blog where I will be following Nyota as she goes on adventures! This will be a narrative story rather than commentary style. Please check it out here. I just posted the first chapter a few days ago.
