Too much of computer

On Friday, after class, as per my usual routine I went to the Hicks underground library to finish my MA 165 Webassign Homework. I specifically go to Hicks to study because of the double screened computers available in the digital media section located in the lower levels of Hicks. There I can do my homework and not tire my eyes as much thanks to the big screens.

However, last Friday was different. That day would have been the third day in row during which I only got less than 6 hours of sleep. Why did this happen? Well, despite keeping my procrastination at an acceptable level, during each day of the week something school-related conveniently came up and kept me up late.

Anyway back to Friday afternoon. I finished my homework, and got out of the Hicks library and impatiently looked forward to a weekend of well-earned rest. However, as I walked from Hicks towards my dorm, I noticed that anyone who passed by me looked at me in a strange way. I ignored the looks.

At my dorm, as I went to the bathroom to get a shower, I looked at myself in the mirror and realised the reason for those strange looks. The person who was looking back at me had a red bloodshot eyes and dark purple bags creeping right below them. The combination of sleep deprivation and computer usage had tired my eyes out to the breaking point. I hope I won’t be needing higher powered glasses. That would really suck.

  1. I LOVE the double screens at hicks! I have promised myself that as soon as I finish grad school and get a full time job, I am going to get myself a big office desk with two big monitors- it really does make life easier!

    Good luck getting some sleep!
