I should shower before bed, but I think I'm too tired. I'll just crash.
Went Christmas shopping today, and finished up, buying presents for my mom, my brother and my uncle.
Didn't play that much of The Sims, but let me tell you -- I complicated the hell out of my Sims' lives.
So there was my original Sim who married Amin.
Amin and my Sim had Elizabeth.
Elizabeth married Brandon.
Elizabeth and Brandon had Sarah and then the twins, Maggie and Jenna.
Sarah wound up not having kids. Apparently, female Sims go through menopause around day 21. How do you know? The "try for baby" option is no longer available.
Current status of the house:
My Sim and Amin, Elizabeth and Brandon are all dead.
Sarah is an Elder.
Maggie is unmarried, but has a daughter, Frankie (AMC references, people!) and is pregnant with her second child.
Jenna married Kennedy (a dorky guy with a bad wardrobe. He's now stylin', thanks to me) and they had two kids, a son and a daughter (who are named for my brother and me). The son is a teenager, now, the daughter is a child.
This means we have seven people in the house, only two bathrooms (I'm SO building a couple more, soon) and soon will have eight. Four of whom will be children. At least the son will be an adult in 14 days or so...
I'm seriously considering moving half the Sims out, eventually. The ones named for me and my brother, and I'll keep Frankie and the other incoming kid, maybe. The trouble may then be in preventing inbreeding, because although I think that the cousins will continue to recognize cousins as family, I don't know if it'll maintain a family relationship after first cousin. And the kids don't seem to recognize aunts or uncles. Hm, hm.

I'm still somewhat bummed about the B-. I emailed my teacher. I dropped from an 83% in the class before the exam to a 77.8% after. I got a 70% on the exam, and I'm sure it's that damn reading about mitochondria that killed me. I am 1.2% away from a B, and I don't see any way I can get it.
I may ask to look over my exam and see where I messed up, but only if my other two marks aren't enough to keep me close to (or over) 3.4. I can eat a B- if I still have a good GPA on the whole.
Why this obsession with my grades? Because I am seriously considering applying for the Honours in Sociology, switching from a Major. I need to keep my GPA up (especially in sociology classes) and if I do, I should be okay.
Why am I considering the Honours? Because it opens the door up for a master's.
A MASTER'S.
I would ask myself why the hell I want the door open for a master's degree, but I don't think I'm ready to actually admit that I've considered spending the rest of my life in academia.
(Pretend you never read this. ;))
