I barely had time to breathe before the morning announcements rang out in the assembly hall.
Professor Mira's voice carried over the chatter. "Senior students, a reminder. Our field trip begins tomorrow. You're to be on campus by 8 a.m. sharp for departure. Lateness will not be tolerated. Bring only what you need. Food and accommodations will be provided."

The hall buzzed immediately.

"Same difference," I muttered, tugging my bag higher on my shoulder. "Three days of sweat and bugs."
