Week 16: Wednesday
Who: Sydni and Selene
What: An accidental meeting
When: Late night
Where: Hallway near instructors' offices
Sydni was pleased. It had been another successful meeting with Miklos. Again, they'd talked late into the night. That might have been normal for Miklos, but it would really suck for Sydni in the morning. Really, she didn't care much, though. She was learning so much, and it really was invigorating to have the kind of one on one instruction of an independent study. Why didn't she do an independent study earlier? She could have gotten more out of some of her classes; she was sure of it. With her head spinning with what she'd learned, the topics they'd discussed, she set down the hallway with a small smile on her face. Eventually it faded as she walked, however. Not because she was displeased, but because she had a lot to think about. Some of what Miklos pointed out contradicted some of her personal thoughts and beliefs, and she needed to ponder through them to reconcile the differences.
Her week had so far been more enjoyable than she'd imagined. It had also been more low-key. Yesterday, she'd met the newest member of the staff, and she'd had a successful chat with Dav - er, Shaye. Things were really starting to look up. Plus, she was fairly certain she'd get to go out diving this weekend. At last, a good week. Her mind continued to be absorbed by the discussion she'd just had, but it was probably more positive and open now that she'd finally settled into a less stressful time here at the school. That was one thing about her tendency for overloading - stress often inhibitted learning, but somehow, it seemed to work for her. She needed to keep herself occupied to deal with her stress, and she was successful at managing both.
With her mind fully occupied with the cognitive dissonance of tonight's discussions, Sydni rounded a corner without paying attention to what her ears were telling her - that someone was headed on a crash course for her. Luckily, her reflexes were better than her ears, and she stepped to the side barely missing the tall blond. "Whoa!" she muttered in surprise. She knew she was at fault - the word escaped out of surprise. Gasping slightly, she offered a quick apology. "I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention. Are you ok?" They hadn't collided, but it was still instinct for her. Besides, she looked none too happy and Sydni wanted to mollify her before she launched into angry words. She didn't need anything to kill her good week vibes right now.
