Well this is it. I’m in the library the day my library card expires, it’s quite weird. In fact the whole last few weeks have been weird, by virtue of the fact that it all feels exactly normal. Here’s a relevant email forward:

Before i came to uni i wish i had known:

• That it didn’t matter how early my first lecture was, I’d still sleep through it.
• That I could change so much and barely realize it.
• That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
• That every clock on campus shows a different time.
• That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn’t matter here.
• That I would go to a party the night before an exam or essay due-date.
• That you can know everything and fail a test.
• That you can know nothing and ace a test.
• That I could get used to almost anything found out about my friends.
• That most of my education would be obtained outside of lectures.
• That friendship is more than getting drunk together but that’s still funny!
• That Sunday is a figment of the world’s imagination.
• That it’s possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by friends.
