Sydalee looked over her half-eaten meal, absent-mindedly moving the food around the plate with her fork. Her mind was clearly somewhere else.

Three weeks. I've been here three weeks and not so much as a hang nail has happened here. Syd thought inwardly. At least before I came here I knew that something was eventually going to happen, but this place is dull with a captial D!

In frustruation, Syd dropped the fork noisily against the ceramic plate, causing several nearby students to look up curiously at her before returning their attention back to their own meals. She looked at her half eaten food a moment longer before pushing her plate aside.

With a heavy sigh, she turned her head slightly and stared listlessly out the window watching the students still milling about on the lawn.
