There is a sense of darkness and despair over the land. We try to keep up fronts of happiness and hope, but underneath it is an overwhelming sadness. Everywhere you look is bad news.

This week is election week, and we all know that the nation views this as something that is monumentally important, quite possibly the most important election in history. The pandemic has not caused the United States to act in a sort of way where they would lose sight of that fact. For that reason, the pandemic has not really affected me as much as previous weeks. I was still able to vote while keeping safety regulations in mind and going about my day the same way I would any other day. The election is at the forefront of everybody's mind, which has momentarily replaced the stress of the pandemic as well. There is still stress, yet it feels good to feel alleviated of a worldwide burden, and focus on something that is so important to our nation and the world.
