Going Solo: Gen 2.4: Kerri

After semester break, it was hard to go back to living in the dorms. I had forgotten how much I missed my old bed, and the quiet. Mom and Lenny hadn't set a date yet, she wanted to wait until I finished my last term at university so I could help her plan things. Sadly I didn't see Boyd much on break. We talked some, but his mom kept him 'busy'.

I was a Fine Arts major, but that didn't stop me from wanting to learn other subjects. The science machine was an interesting contraption, and I played around with it when I could as well as continuing to search the galaxy.

The universe was so big and there was so much unknown about it. On the fun side, I also started to dabble in street art. It wasn't as interesting to me as painting, but the self expression side of it, made me want to try.

I arrived before Shasha did, but she called me as soon as she got back to campus. I met her over at the university coffee house.

She was really REALLY happy to see me again. We went in to have a cup of coffee and the barista told us they had installed a new photobooth upstairs. We started out just taking pictures, but like I said, she really missed me, and I missed her too! She knew about Boyd, so at least I wasn't 'cheating' on two people. But I didn't see what Shasha and I did as cheating anyway. It was more about experimenting with life. Yeah that was it, not cheating at all...but why did I still feel so guilty about doing it?

With this being my final semester, I really wanted to make sure I didn't let my grades drop.

Sadly I had the same boring professor, but I was hoping the new material would be enough to keep my interest. My roomies, lost that will to keep things clean so I was back to dealing with living with slobs.

And idiots.

Boyd sent me a gift with a card saying how sorry he was for not getting to see me while I was home.

His mom was pushing for him to put the needs of the family first, and he wasn't ready for that yet. When I called him to thank him, I tried to find out what he meant by that, but he was very vague saying it was nothing to worry about.

Shasha and I had one class together. I had room in my schedule for a technology class and that was her major. We again were study buddies, and then some.

Before I knew it finals were upon us again. I passed with a perfect GPA.

Graduation day came. I had made it, I was a college graduate.

 The first in my family. Everyone came, and I was surprised that Boyd showed up. He hadn't said he was coming, but mom said she told him not to tell me. It was great to have everyone there to share in my success.
 

Move out day came. Shasha was taking a few extra courses to go for her master's degree.

We promised to keep in touch. I would miss her, she had been a great friend. I knew that friendship would continue and we even made plans to visit each other.

I packed up my few belongings, and headed home.

**A/N--whew!!! I didn't think I'd ever get through those two weeks at Uni. It really is a repeat of things so not very interesting game play. But on the upside Kerri now has 1 degree down, 2 more to go!!! Can't wait to get her home and see how far all her paintings get her in her career. She has about 5 large ones in her inventory.**
