in college again

July 2079 - Brady Lind is 65, Meadow is 64.

Meadow and Brady Lind met in college, 35 years ago at Sim State University, long before Lake City University was ever founded. But they're moving back to college again this month, going back to school in their elder years. With Meadow's new appointment to President of the Lake County Board of Education, they'll have to live on campus.

The University President's Estate

(Grosse Pointe, house by Gethane)

Meadow retires from her position as Lakeside Heights High School Principal, but her retirement is hardly going to be spent without work. Her new position as School Board President is going to be more work than ever!

Meadow meets with the former school board president, Holly Miller, and they discuss the handing over of LCU duties.

They also discuss what is yummier, ice cream or Patrick Nova? They don't come to a decision on that, but there is one Nova they do agree on...

Oh, my, Jeremy hasn't changed a bit, Meadow thinks. Jeremy Nova is Professor of Music and Arts at Nova Hall. And suddenly, Meadow begins to wonder if it will be weird that they used to be engaged, and now she's going to be his boss? It can't be any weirder than when Holly was his boss...

(Collins Hall Center for the Sciences)

Professor of Science and Information Technologies at Collins Hall is April Harris, replacing Tosha Harris who is retiring this year.

April was recommended very highly by Tosha, but then she would be, you know, being her daughter-in-law and everything. She shows up to her interview in jeans and a t-shirt. But regardless, she is, in fact, smart as a whip, and Meadow gives her the job.

And "smart as a whip?" Who ever decided that whips were smart? Maybe LCU needs a writing and literature department? There, Meadow just thought of her first task as the new school board president! How convenient that her own daughter is an accomplished writer :)

(Riley Hall School of Business)

Professor of Business is Aurora Miguel, at LCU's newest addition, Riley Hall School of Business. Meadow actually offered the position to Bryson Riley, you know, since he commissioned the building and all, but he said he already had enough on his plate.

(LCU Field)

Professor of Athletics at LCU Field is Talin Collins. Talin is a retired sports star, and even gives Meadow a little personal training session. Since seeing Jeremy again, Meadow's had the sudden desire to get fit. Maybe she's remembering how he called her fat in college?

Showing pretty young co-eds how to use the weight machines... yeah, his job isn't very hard.

Looking pretty buff, there, Grandma Meadow! Take that, Jeremy Nova, who's fat now!?!

While Meadow is settling into her new job, Brady gets their condo all packed up. Brady also won his race for CFO of the Lake County Treasury, but his new office in City Hall isn't quite ready yet.

He and Meadow sit out in her garden one last time. She wonders if she'll have time for gardening now with her new job? If not, Brady suggests she might just have a sculpture garden. You know, less maintenance and all. Quick thinking, Brady!

Meadow is glad that the University Estate does have a bit of garden space out back.

(That is actually Fifi there, spinning around her tail, though she doesn't look like much of a dog like that, lol.)

And maybe it's weird, but the house is so big that they decide to devote an entire room to Fifi.

So they're all moved in then, and they almost forgot how annoying cheerleaders used to be. They're going to have to get used to that all over again.
