Just saw more people coping very badly with the home stretch.
In the school cafeteria, abandoned since it closes at 4, there were two women sitting at a caf table, poring over notes and talking hurriedly and importantly about something they were working on. So far no surprise. But as I walked past, I noticed they had open on the table a game of Monopoly. Money, board, dice... everything. A full game of Monopoly in full swing by themselves in the abandoned cafeteria.
That wasn't the weird part. The weird part was that they still had open notebooks and pens out too, frenziedly writing as if they were working on something very important.
I am unsure as to what conclusions I am intended to draw. Perhaps they are conducting an assignment assessing probabilities of landing on certain spaces? Or revising and planning a business model for a revised version of the game?
Or maybe they're education students. This is exactly the kind of weird junk that we've all grown accustomed to watching them do. If it's not model cars or balsa wood catapults, it's Monopoly in the cafeteria at 7pm.
I hope the end comes soon. I'm losing hold of the already-tenuous grip on sanity I possessed in the first place.
