ecstatic - Story 38905 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The professor droned on about Renaissance art, but Liam couldn't focus. He kept fidgeting in his seat, his leg bouncing uncontrollably. He glanced at his phone, the email still open. The university was done. Finished. Kaput.

He bit his lip, trying to contain the overwhelming feeling inside. He felt a huge rush. He felt like he could run around the lecture hall and yell at the top of his lungs. He wanted to do backflips.

He wanted to drop this class immediately! He would never have to see this professor again. He was going to travel the world, with no responsibilities.
