Classes were over for the day and Carina couldn't be happier. While she loved her job and loved teaching, there were some days that just seemed to drag on and on. This was one of those days. She was free for the evening and she was going to do what she did best. Playing in the dirt.
Dressed simply in jeans and a t-shirt, she didn't wear a jacket despite of the cold air as she loved the cold. The potions professor knew exactly where she was going as she came here many times when she couldn't sleep. Following along the trail for a bit, she suddenly turned off, picking her way through the trees and brush.
Just around the next tree was a small clearing. There was a small creek fed pond and the potion ingredients were many. Her sigh was one of contentment as she reached the clearing just as the rays of the sun were turning into an explosion of reds, purples and oranges. Dropping her bag beside her feet, Carina dropped to her knees. Pulling a few jars from her bag, she opened them, setting them beside her. With a deep breath, she plunged her hands into the icy water to gather the algae that grew on the bottom.
