End of Days
As the final days of university draw to a close, only the devout students attend the last few lectures and tutorials. We sit here eagerly, clearly being productive - taking notes, asking questions, finishing work on our assignments as good students do.
But we are alone in the university, our friends weren’t stupid enough to join us on the 2 hour train trip and travelling time. They sleep in until lunch time, forgetting what they have to do, missing due dates or just scraping by. Our friends are blissfully unaware of the stress and torture we are putting ourselves through.
The library will be quiet, desolate, depressing. Banks of computer will be free, but we no longer need to use them. There are over a million books on the shelves, but there is no time to read them as the semester slowly ends.
I sit with one friend who for some reason is still here, yet has nothing to do apart from writing angry emails to his lecturers and tutors. How productive, I assume, what a necessary task to complete! The time spent is so valuable to him, but still he continues to aimlessly type into an oblivion in a hope that he will recover more works.
When I said end of days, I meant no religious connotation at all. Merely it was a reflection of the days or weeks remaining of the semester. So Christians fear not!
