graduate school had been difficult for natalie. it had been a long time since she was in a competitive environment and it was ill fitting to her now. she could see the ghost of herself when she picked at her nails. reanimated the person she used to be to try and make it through again. natalie brought the cup of coffee to her lips before sliding a cup over to margaret.
her pen tapped on the notebook in front of her although there was noteably nothing on the page. instead she leaned back into the chair and yawned. she blinked before trying to get her wits about her. “ i don’t know how you keep coming back to all of this for fun. seems a little punishing to me. ” there is an upturn of her lips. “ if there was any other way i could get this job without having this degree, i wouldn’t be here. ”
