"And remember, your papers are due next Thursday in my office by five. Late papers will not be accepted. See you on Wednesday."
Carol sighed as she carefully placed her book and notebook back into the messenger bag and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was nearly nine thirty pm. Class had gone over again. At this rate she would be lucky to pick up some sort of dinner and be home by elven.
She shared some light chit chat and banter with her fellow students as she adjusted the strap of her bag to fit more comfortably while trying to dig in it for her umbrella at the same time.
She had to deal with a little teasing in her choice of clothing. A woman who worked with toddlers all morning and studied pediatric nursing during the night wasn't usually seen in a short little brown dress and two to three inch heels. But... they were just sooo cute and she had just bought them so she had to wear them.
With a last smile and wave to her classmates she headed out of the classroom. She was honestly exhausted and was once again calculating how much longer till graduation when she could move on to being exhausted by just work instead of work AND school.
She absently played with the heavy braided bun that was her usual hair style. It was pulling on her scalp and she couldn't wait to get home and take it down. That first few seconds when her hair was released from its tight hold and her entire scalp tingled was always oddly pleasing.
She got a bit of a start when she realized she had reached the doors that led to the back parking lot already. She usually enjoyed her stroll through the fairly empty college hall ways after night class got over but tonight she hadn't even really noticed her surroundings at all.
"Must be tireder than I thought" she mumbled to herself as she began rummaging through her bag for her umbrella. It was only raining a little, but being a student nurse she knew better than to expose her tired self to cold rain and risk getting sick.
