The news arrived as she was staring, defeated, at her half-finished research paper. Professor Miller was… what? Resigning? A high-pitched giggle escaped her lips. She covered her mouth, trying to contain the overwhelming feeling of… well, it was hard to describe. Euphoria, maybe?

She leaped up from her chair and started pacing, ideas flooding her mind. This was a chance for a new beginning, a fresh start. She felt a lightness in her step, a spring in her stride.
