Student Blogging and the End of the World

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth...

Jump ahead past all the other superfluous bullshit and we come to me at university tasked with creating and maintaining a blog. Which of course is on my list of things to do. I have so far been slightly ill at ease about the idea of doing this because ultimately in the end everything we are preparing and learning for, all the hours invested at the library studying, all the social networking and browsing of potential contacts, all the lectures, seminars and discussions are ultimately for nothing, because according to the Revelations Chapter in the bible, we won't live to really put any of this stuff to use, so I am going to sit back and wait for the whole shitstorm to commence. But because I was a boyscout a long time ago, I still live by our motto "Be prepared," so I will continue this blog just in case the fire and brimstone doesn't rein down upon us this year or the next.

But imagine this people, how annoyed would students be if they finished a 3-4 year course, worked damn hard, invested blood, sweat and tears into their work and upon their graduation day God finally decided to pull his finger out of his infinite arsehole and end mankind. How pissed off would you be? Like you could have saved us the trouble and done this a few years ago God. That dude is just bang out of order sometimes.
