Mickey Dosser - Junior Year

Mickey Dosser's name is next on my alphabetical list, and here we are at the Oresha-Hoh-Var Fraternity at Strangetown's La Fiesta Tech. 

Mickey does not live here on his own; Guy Wrightley (the great-grandson of the original founder of the fraternity) and Matthew Hart are members, too. 

As keeps happening since installing the Legacy edition of the game, all three have changed their appearance autonomously: Matthew now sports a full head of dreadlocks, Guy has gotten rid of his cornrows and opts for a sleeker style, and Mickey has taken to wearing a bandana. While I'm fine with the other two, Mickey's bandana has to go - I just think it looks really daft. Sorry! 

Mickey has just started the second half of his Junior Year. Matthew is one semester behind him, while Guy is now a Senior. His first Junior semester is here.

Mickey LOVES his new curly hair! Never mind the tap on the sink needs fixing... (One of the other two boys needs a Mechanical point, and so Mickey generously leaves the repair to them.) By the way, he is a Romance Sim who dreams of 20 lovers. So far, he has three. 

As usual with fraternities and sororities, one or other of the members "visits campus" on their own accord and returns with pizza, a battered armchair or superfluous desk. At this house, it's pizza every time.

I would have first put the smelly leftovers in the bin before sitting down to eat of the freshly baked pizza!

Mickey needs a cooking point, but in typical Mickey-Dosser-style he rather watches a cooking show on TV than slave away in the kitchen or read a book. 

Well, all that pizza hasn't done the young man any good. He gets up the next morning, determined to do something about his belly and get fit (he really rolled the wish).

First, though, there are more important things to do, such as making the acquaintance of Jessie Pilferson, who is a prospectice candidate for his list of 20 lovers. Why she has taken to walking around in a medieval-style dress I don't know, but that's students for you.

Last semester, Mickey made friends (and more) with his professor, and when she turns up on her own initiative, he flatters her into writing his Term Paper. (Another wish of his.)

In the evening, he finally makes good on his resolution to get fitter and works out to the SimGym program on TV.

The next day, he even "slaves away" in the kitchen, preparing himself a bowl of salad instead of eating pizza. I am impressed!

But when he wakes up from a snooze after a strenuous round of jogging, he really, really craves a slice of pizza. Just the one! 

Well, it didn't remain at "just the one" - instead, Mickey went off to get MORE pizza and really stuffed himself silly. Oh dear! Still, all is not lost, and he goes jogging again the next day.

As you can see, the "just one" slice of pizza really didn't do too much harm - he is not yet as fit as he wants to, but getting there.

It's Exam Day, and all three have theirs at the same time. They return with good grades; Guy and Matthew with an A+ each, while Mickey gets an A- "for his efforts", who weren't really his but his Professor's.

Because this is the end of Mickey's Junior Year, even though I have only played him for one semester I'll end this chapter now, so that next time he'll start his Senior Year from the beginning, as it should be. 

The boys were easy to play but there wasn't enough time to send them to a community lot. Friendships were largely maintained via the phone, and skills gained as required; I am not sure whether there are any pledges waiting to be moved in. Francis Worthington maybe?
