Eyelids droop and suddenly she doesn’t care about anyone watching; she lets go of her self-consciousness. She is in the student center, but she is invisible. She leans her head against the back of the couch and closes her eyes. It’s 9:30am. She has just finished one exam and has another in an hour. She wonders why she planned against coffee this morning. Caffeine would be good, she thinks. She struggles against sleep; exhaustion has overcome apprehension. Nerves, she remembers, were supposed to keep her awake. Eventually she rises and leaves. Glazed eyes watch her go, and then continue studying.
