Finishing Off

Tonight is my last night in Sheffield University's new Information Commons. Just finishing off with a bit of revision for my final exam tomorrow on Geological Engineering (yes, I have an exam on rocks - why do you think I've been blogging so much over the past few weeks?!).

It's a strange feeling leaving university. I was sat in a silent study zone earlier wondering what I would do without the Information Commons. I was wondering where I would do work from now on. It just shows that no matter how hard you try to be a 'normal' person whilst a student that you always end up with a degree of separation from the real world. Of course, normal people work in offices, or at home. When I take a step back and realise how ridiculous it sounds to 'wonder what I'll do without the Information Commons' the gap betweens student life and normal life seems huge.

I also think that student life spoils you a bit. In some ways it clearly doesn't (you should have seen the state of my house when I moved in!) but in others we are very spoilt. For example, I was in an office recently and was for some reason a bit taken aback at the quality (or lack thereof) of their printer. How trivial, but as students we're used to having access to excellent facilities of that type (though we have to pay for them). It would be a shame if that's the only legacy my university experience will leave me. But thankfully there has been much more going on than that, and a lot more to be thankful for.

So tonight it's Luke's random thoughts (owing to the final 'final' tomorrow). You can pray for me if you like (Luke Wood, Geology exam, 9am tomorrow). Thanks!
