October had come in like a bear this year. It was cold and dark and rainy and miserable, and there was a cappachino topped with caramel 'Wild Sandsden' just waiting for her at the little independent coffee shop down town. Midterms wouldn't wait to let her process her visits with her father and College. She had to focus. Focus, focus, focus. Just four more semesters after this one, and then --
"Things will be so much simpler in Malawi," Dev muttered, wrapping her long multi-colored scarf around her neck at least six times before shoving up her hood and grabbing an umbrella. The sky wasn't pouring at the moment, but it had been raining on and off all day and her high olive rainboots protected her as she deliberately tromped right through any puddle in her way.
It was about a twenty minute walk into town, and Dev shifted her messenger bag and waved to the few people out on such a miserable day. She didn't really mind - it smelled like fall and fresh leaves and she felt the need to move.
Besides, once she was in town it was all down-hill. She smiled and set her face firmly. Maybe she'd run in to someone from school with a car so she wouldn't have to go uphill in the dark. Either way, Carlie was still dying in their room, and there was studying which needed to be done. With coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
She almost welcomed thoughts of triogulites and whomanawhatis that she'd be trying to memorize, if just because that meant she wouldn't have to think. Bring on Romans 9, 10, and 11! Studying would be a welcome break from the other thoughts running around in her mind.
