It was already 5PM and I haven’t slept in a while. I needed to finish my homework and also needed to eat. The projector was missing from the common room. It turns out that people were playing Smash outside on the field. Someone took out a selection of board games from a box. One of the games was named Revenge. It was a strategy game with with base-building and ships. I agreed to play a quick game and suddenly a lot of people came into the room. Everyone wanted to play so we pulled up more chairs.

The semester was ending and our professor offered a room where we could do our work undistracted. It must have been Thursday already and I had a large Twix bar in my backpack.

Eight hours had gone by without me getting up from my seat. I still hadn’t eaten yet and my work was not yet done. Someone was expressing their frustration over having missed a math exam today. I tried to comfort them by saying that it was alright if they were doing well in class to begin with. The top leaves of the tree across the street were blue. The sun was setting.
