Erica's Journal

Simday 9 (Age 30)

I can't believe how well my new career has been going. I was recently promoted to desk sergeant, which means I am now a ranking officer! And it couldn't have come at a better time: There've been a rash of burglaries in Sunrise Falls: Leo and Adam have both been hit recently. Solving this case could really put me ahead on the force!


Simday 7 (Age 28)

Wintertime in Sunrise Falls is surprisingly beautiful. I don't even mind all the extra clothes we have to wear, because I get to play outside in the snow with my boyfriend (and then go back inside, where he warms me up, if you know what I mean...)

I think we're getting ready to make a big decision soon. Our careers are both going well. It seems like every week that Isaac gets a promotion; he's in acquisitions. I'm so proud of him, and I know he'll be supportive of me, too, when I tell him my big news: I finally saved up enough money ($10,000!) to go back to school... the police academy! I know, I'm not thrilled about the polyester uniforms either, but hopefully I'll advance past that stage quickly. I'm just really excited about getting in there and helping to keep order in our new little town!


Simday 2 (Age 23)

I can't believe how different it is to live all by yourself. I mean, we had our own rooms in college but now that everyone's split up and has jobs with different working hours, I think I have a little cabin fever. Last night I started talking to this strange dog that wandered into my yard, before Isaac ran out of the house and pulled me inside. He said it was a wolf!


Senior year, second semester

To be honest, I wasn't sure, four years ago, whether I would get along with this group of girls. They all seemed so different from me, and although that's still true, somehow I've made actual friends. I'm not the nostalgic type, but I'm savoring our final days of college together.



Senior year, first semester

Senioritis isn't going to get me. No way.








Junior year, second semester

... I really don't know what to say. Isaac and I have spent a lot of time talking on the phone, and at some point I guess we've become really good friends. He's really smart, so I invited him over the other day to help me with my term paper, and he just surprised me with this... move, and then I surprised myself because I liked it! What does this mean for us now?


Junior year, first semester

I just love summer, which means the return of warm-weather clothes!







Sophomore year, second semester

So I finally got meet Adam Bridgeport at one of my mixers. I always used to read about his family in the society pages, and I would be lying if I said that reading the announcement that he was forgoing the Bridgeport fortune to come to Sunrise Falls didn't factor into my own decision as well. He's cute enough, and I can tell that even though he was just renegade enough to come out here, he's kept his family values.


Sophomore year, first semester (repeat)

So apparently the thing I forgot last semester was my final exam, so now I have to repeat the term. It's a mild setback, but if academics are the price I have to pay for socializing, so be it. Angelique also failed the term, and she took it a lot harder than anyone expected. Since I was going through the same thing, I tried to make her feel better, and I actually think I just made a new best friend?


Sophomore year, first semester

Persistence always pays off. The planners told us we had to spend the first year getting to know our housemates better, but now that we're sophomores, I decided to do what I do best: throw mixers. Since it's finals week and I know everyone's stressed, I invited all the guys over for a sports party, and it was a total success. Of course, throwing a great party takes tons of work. I feel like there's something I forgot to do, but I'm just so tired......zzzzzzz


Freshman year, second semester

The girls continue to be intimidated by my presence. Today I tried to organize an outing to the student center, but no one agreed to come. I must work on balancing my authority with more approachability.




Freshman year, first semester

I thought it would be pretty easy to make my authority known among these girls, but they all seem to look at me kind of strangely whenever I come up to them. I don't know what their problem is, but I'm sure they'll come around soon.
