This was ridiculous.
Leia was educated. Well educated. Back home she spoke a few different languages, had been raised to know the history of many different planets and its people, and was skilled in standard 'princess-y' things, too, as her aunts had required. Even if her sewing really was terrible, it had patched up more than a few items during the Rebellion, and that mattered to her.
But now she was having to do it all over again. She felt like a small child starting from scratch. A part of her wanted to give up and quit, maybe college here on Earth wasn't for her after all.
No. Leia was no quitter and she wouldn't shame all of the things she had been given by doing so. That didn't stop her frustrations when, after the third attempt, she couldn't remember what year the Kennedy assassination was. These were things most of her classmates had grown up knowing and yet she had only learned who Kennedy was a few weeks ago.
She pushed her book aside and dropped her head on the table in front of her, heaving a sigh. For about the millionth time, she thought maybe this hadn't been such a great idea.
