In our last post, we got a bit of a tour of Grayson’s new home which told us a bit about his personality. Also, Grayson had plans to apply to university.

Grayson was nervous about applying for acceptance into a university. For many years, it had been his dream to attend a university and to learn more. Honestly, he was interested in most everything and disliked the idea of having to choose a major. He considered language and literature, communications, history and psychology.

Grayson applied to both local universities and for several scholarships. He was wondering how he was going to afford to attend since he had very little money to his name. He abhorred the idea of having to get a roommate, but it just might come to that.

Grayson was an introverted loner. In general, he found people to be exhausting. However, he was still a regular Sim and had a social requirement that needed to be filled. Sometimes he cured his loneliness by chatting with people online in the comfort of his own home. Other times, that wasn’t enough.

Fortunately, there was a pub just down the hill from his new home. He was becoming a regular there. Usually, he’d sit alone as the mere presence of others was enough. But on occasion, he’d engage the bartender in some polite conversation.

Every now and again, he would actually talk to a fellow patron, as long as they seemed genuinely interesting. He tried to avoid giving anyone the impression that he wanted actual friends, though.

Grayson was accepted into both universities, but for a limited selection of programs. He chose psychology because he wanted a better understanding of why Sims behaved the way they did. He knew he was a bit detached from other Sims, so he considered this area of study to be the one in most need of more learning. He also chose an Archaeology minor because he felt it might give him insight into the bigger picture as related to psychology.
