TWO
213 Words
On a sizzling afternoon, Aurora finally put everything in place in her new home. The two weeks were dragging on much too slowly for her liking and she very nearly combusted with excitement for her new job. At twenty seven years of age, she would be the youngest academic staff in the department, albeit an assistant. Most of her colleagues were older and married. Some of them had taught her while she had been pursing her MA.
Few more days for her to start work, she sat by the window in the living room going through some of the text materials she would be needing for her classes. She was to fully handle the first year students While Mr Frederick would be taking those in the second year although she would be assisting him in grading and such. She studied documents and PDF, going through all necessary until it hurt to blink.
The day dimmed outside her window. Tiredly, she slid the laptop close and slept. Waking up sometime in the night, she stumbled to the kitchen, and made herself a quick meal of crackers and water. Tomorrow, she would inquire on the power failure in the house. As she lay in bed, the rhythm of the night soon lull her to sleep.
