Louise woke up early that morning. Normally she needed forever to get going, but today was extra so. She had stayed up way too late last night worrying and preparing for her first day as a professor instead of student. Sure, she had been a substitute and intern before, but this was a much different thing. From now on she would be responsible for her classes all by herself. It was gnawing at her mind. Was she really up to it? There was only one way to find out.

Eventually she rolled out of the bed and walked into the bathroom for a good and long shower. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror before she put towels around her body and hair and started making breakfast for herself soon after. After the coffee had brewed she poured it all into a thermos, a habit from her days working extra, ate her breakfast and got herself ready for the day.

A quarter to eight she was sitting in her study and started reviewing her material for the class, ancient religions. Not the most popular topic at the school, only had a few students. Louise sighed and grabbed her thermos and walked into the classroom and poured herself a cup of coffee and added a few pieces of sugar. Now there was only to wait foe the students to arrive. Perhaps even some she had shared classes with when she was a student? She started looking through the names, only two she recognized.
