Millie was excited and more than a little nervous. After puting it off for a few weeks, she'd finally driven into town today to register for school at the community college. Her father had pretty much ordered that she have all the financial bills mailed home because why had they saved her whole life to give her a college fund if she wasn't going to use it when she went to school? There was no arguing with her father when he got into that sort of mood, so she'd given in.

So, great! School. She'd wanted to go back for a while, but had always been more than a little scared of the prospect. After what had happened back home... Well, that wasn't here. It was a new start. Now all she had to do was figure out what degree she wanted to go for. She had pamphlets for all the ones that seemed interesting and had only signed up for a few gen eds for the summer semester (Botany and English Comp II). She'd been sitting at the counter in the kitchen with a pop within reach for what felt like hours trying to figure out what she wanted to do.

This was really more difficult than it should have been.
