Nadia was laying on her bed listening to a lecture on the etymology of the Klingon language as she was still getting a grasp of their language. As she listened to the lecture she was looking at the Klingon written language which she actually found similar to South Asian written languages. More character based than letter base which she enjoyed more as it was closer to what she grew up with which was Russian Cyrillic and of course Chinese symbols.

Pausing the lecture she removed her wireless ear buds and rubbed her eyes as she felt them starting to go cross-eyed wishing that she was actually in a lecture hall listening to the lecture. Looking at the time Nadia sighed knowing that she should get cleaned up and head to bed but that drive to learn was also very strong at the moment.

Turning her PaDD off and doing one more rub of her eyes she leaned over as she started tor remove her knee high boots once they were off she stretched her toes letting them breathe. Standing up she twisted her hips to unzip her black leather skirt removing her tunic and top before heading for the shower.

The cascading warm water felt good removing all that stress and reliving a headache that had been building. Lathering up some soap on her luffa she started scrubbing her body finding the roughness soothing. Grabbing her shampoo she lathered her hair thoroughly as she stood underneath the warm water allowing the shampoo to sink in and really do the job.

Few minuets later she was fully rinsed off and she turned the water off grabbing a towel she did a quick dry in the shower to keep from getting the floor completely wet. Wrapping the towel around her waist she left the bathroom and spotting someone on the couch. "Guess you are my roommate?"

The women looked up not phased, "appears so." She said simply, "ensign Roberta Paulsen. Shuttle pilot." She said standing up and setting her PaDD onto the coffee table and walked over to Nadia holding her hand out.

"Ensign Nadia Jiaying, communications officer." Nadia said placing one hand on her towel while the other took her hand and shook her hand. "Pleasure meeting you....umm if you would excuse me I should put some clothes on." And with that Nadia headed for her room.
