Just For A Second

Am I stressed? More or less, but I think it has to do more with there not being a proper way to destress, even for a moment. There is no one to interact with face to face. No one to call my name and distract me, even if it is for a moment. And no one to give me a smile in person, even if it's for a second. I've sat in my room, home alone, for the past 8 hours. My eyes hurt and so does my head, but I'm still not going to stop writing my papers. 21 pages of papers will be turned in on Wednesday. I can do this and that's all I need to know

Tonight, I am Ahab. I will not finish until my work for tonight is done.
