Still do not feel comfortable asking anyone to talk to me later. My feelings of frustration are beginning to get larger.

Day 4 I isolated myself today in the library to do the work that I had to get done. I have to say that it was rather inconvenient but it was quiet and I realized that fewer people tend to bother you when you are working in the library.
