The news about Professor Ramirez’s departure hit Daniel like a shot of adrenaline. He was sitting in the library, the sterile air usually making him lethargic. But today, he felt a powerful urge to jump up and run. He quickly closed his laptop and leaned back in the chair.

He stretched his limbs, and felt a pleasant tingle in his fingertips. The world looked somehow brighter, the muffled sounds of the library more tolerable. He could breathe. He was free.

His thoughts instantly drifted to the new advisor he was planning to choose. He went straight to the library's catalog to begin researching them. He was excited and ready.
