Her eyes flew open in the morning and already a cheeky grin was carved on her face. Her cheeks were aching. She wouldn't be surprised if she had been smiling in her sleep the entire night already.
Throwing the blankets aside, she couldn't get herself to run fast enough to get the awesome NON-LAW (!!!) book that she borrowed from the library and she devoured it like a lost man in an oasis in an unforgiving desert.
After 10 minutes, she lost interest in the book but that didn't dampen her spirits as she gaily pranced to the imaginative background music down the stairs celebrating everything good in life. She exchanged happy banters with her mother for a few seconds and played a CD that she has not heard in a long time because her studies would have scolded her for being distracted by awesome music.
All thoughts of judicial review, resulting trust, adverse possession and treaties have zero place in her mind and her thoughts have been held captive with the sweetness of freedom.
Her heart grew wings and are its soaring with the birds in the sky and joy, savouring the new-found freedom. The value of gold would be pale in comparison to this emotion.
She knows that her joy will be short-lived and such surge of happiness will die down with time with the possibility of her coughresitingforexamohpleasenocough and that this joy would eventually sink down to boredom.
But for now, the lack of need to force herself to swallow heavy law and shove information in her already tired brain as she has been trying to do for the past 2 months is absolutely liberating.
And boy, the feeling is ....glorious.
