Alexandra and Cornell in Uni

Memories of March 17, 2013

 
Fall ended and Winter arrived to St. John University.
Alexandra and Cornell came back to take one more trimester, although it is likely it won't be their last. Anyway, they'll do their utmost to obtain the highest possible number of credits.
 
Cornell had great fun playing kickball at the Meet & Greet. Of course his physical condition was excellent, not for nothing had he enrolled in the Physical Education career. Cornell is an outstanding Athlete.
Though sometimes he abuses his physical strenght. For instance, he likes to force the vending machine to give him free cans of soda.
That afternoon at the Meet & Greet wasn't the exception.
Alexandra, for her part, chose the Technology career. In Monte Vista she's in the Private Investigator career, but being a Goth, she was also interested in everything related to Science.
Okay, don't think Cornell only knows how to steal cans of soda, he also repairs things. His skill was of a lot of help that afternoon at the men's room. He saved the day by fixing the sink, and all the professors thanked him.
The Schmidt Memorial Stadium. Here is where Cornell will attend classes.
It was a really cold semester. That's how St. John looked almost everyday.
Even with the snow and the cold, Cornell had to go to class in a bicycle to leave the car to Alexandra.
Alexandra promised him to get her own car soon, so they won't have to take turns with the bike.
And that was a really cold winter!
One of the things that Alexandra liked the most of the Technology career was to study her brain with that strange machine. Her eccentric Goth side.
Cornell was never very studious, but even so, he always tried to study a bit before class.

The morning after was Alexandra's turn with the bicycle. The good thing is that she's not as sensitive to cold as Cornell. So far she hadn't caught a cold not even once.
7:30 am. Cornell headed for his class comfortably and with the heating on. At least today he wasn't cold!

Alexandra had a lot of plans, among them, to continue with her job as a  Private Investigator in Monte Vista, finishing her Technology career to be able to make inventions like her admired grandpa Mortimer.
An of course, her main goal: marry her adored Cornell!
Cornell and Alexandra had become sweethearts after graduating from Hidden Springs High School. Later they went steady and, with the approval of their parents, they moved together to Monte Vista to look for a job and prepare for the University. Now that graduation was just around the corner, they'd have to start planning the wedding.
But while the big day arrived, they had to continue attending classes, although, for Cornell, some of them turned out to be really boring.
Fortunately, the University wasn't only about attending classes for him, he could socialize too and make some friends, like the popular Skip Taylor.
And the brilliant Sara Mahoney, both members of the Jocks social group, in which Cornell was accepted and welcomed from the beginning.
The final exams eve is here. Alexandra and Cornell prepared themselves well, by creating their own study group.
The exams are over. Cornell didn't do as well as he wanted, he barely got a C. Alexandra got a B. Anwyay, they passed, but they's have to return to the faculty the next trimester.
Cornell didn't feel so bad. At least he made some new friends and he needed just a few credits to graduate. Surely next trimester he would make it.
"Goodbye, Uni, we'll be back!"
