Amanda was rarely anxious. She took the Academy like she took anything else in life: seriously and confidently. In the current moment, while waiting for her final examination, the only thing in her mind was the well being of her sister. Her oldest sister Sara had taken ill the week before and still hadn’t recovered, which she knew was normal as this flu was particularly nasty. She had been infected by her son who at 4 years old had began kindergarten, taking with him all sort of germs.
Amanda could confidently say that she was not usually a worrywart but the stress of finishing all her courses on time had taken its toll on her mental health and she was unusually restless that day. She resolved to send another message before the examination.
She took out her pad from where it rested in her bag and that’s when she noticed the time; she wasn’t late by any means but she would soon need to make her way to Holodeck 4. Reluctantly, she put away anything she didn’t need and threw her already finished coffee in a nearby trashcan.
It's fine, I'll do it later.
Amanda stood outside the Campus and as the sunny rays warmed her skin she noticed a strange sense of longing settle in the middle of her chest. Surrounded by the chatter of people, she felt more alone than ever before. For the past four years she had been in the company of people like her, hungry for knowledge and a sense of purpose. They had understood each other and now that everything was coming to an end she felt the urgent need to cling to this space that was so special to her. She looked around for the last time, imprinting everything to memory before walking away.
Get a grip Amanda. Moping won’t change anything.
Heading towards Holodeck 4 she tried to put away this thoughts. She won’t let them dictate her life. She can’t. So many things were sacrificed in order for her to be there and she won’t let that be in vain.
As she stood in front of the Holodeck, she waited for the final exam to start.
