The semester is coming to a close, and so is our amount of caring. And our patience. And our appearance. And our everything pretty much. I've noticed several things throughout the last few weeks that I'm sure you've noticed too. Not only have the classrooms gotten smaller and parking lots gotten emptier, but the libraries have gotten fuller and the cafeterias have gotten more crowded.

Seems unusual that people would be in the library when they don't go to class, but I've noticed that those people often ask others for notes, then go study those. I've seen more study groups and meetups because everyone wants to know what everyone else is studying. Facebook groups have been bombarded with "How do I study for so-&-so?"

But it's also that point in the semester when no one really cares. Sure, you'll always have those people who keep going to class and keep studying and keep showing up. But even those people don't really care. There's not really anything you can do to your grade within the next week or so before exams. There's nothing you can do to get extra credit, because chances are, your professor hates giving it. There's nothing you can do about the parking ticket bill you've racked up, or the amount of money you've spent on coffee.

And quite frankly, no one cares.

We're all just walking around like zombies on campus with our feet somehow taking us to class, then the next, then the next. We're just pushing through 'til the end, because then we have a month off for Christmas. We're collaboratively not caring while simultaneously still doing schoolwork. It's that point in the semester when there's not much you can do, but you just keep doing what you're doing.

And this probably doesn't make sense, but my brain is fried, and I just don't really care.
