Rules about quitting under contract

I started a job last September, but it ended up being pretty awful and I'm done. I just accepted an offer for a different job that doubles my pay. When I started my current job I signed an employment contract that stated “This agreement may be terminated by either party, with mutual consent and 30 days notice.” I don't want to give 30 days notice, I want to give 2 weeks but honestly if they ask me to leave tomorrow I would happily skip out the door never to return. Would I face legal repercussions for telling them I'm giving two weeks? My next job starts in July so I have wiggle room. I live in an at-will state (CT) but I don't really understand the laws. This was my first job out of college.
