Some people thought the world was going to end today at 18:00.
It's now 18:01.
However, the whole discussion around it has been interesting to me simply because it gave me a legitimate reason to use the term 'eschatology', [the study of end times] because that was the topic of my dissertation - handed in 10 years ago this month:
And, as annoying as it can be, when you're feeling awful, to have someone say 'Cheer up, it's not the end of the world' ... today ... it seems rather appropriate.

Make sure you enjoy it!

Love it. I am going to try and say "Cheer up! It's not the end of the world" multiple times today.
ReplyDeleteAt exactly 6pm today a car backfired in the street outside my house. I was worried for a moment!
ReplyDeleteI like the 'end of the world' days, it gives a great excuse for celebrating when the world just carries on!
A great opening. Very. Dramatic. It looks like an interesting topic - I *sometimes* miss getting stuck into a topic like you do at uni.
ReplyDeleteWhat a teaser! Just the start and the end ... I want to read more! And happy apocalypse-not to you too. :)
