4 o'clock

The feeling of suffocation from work.

Thought I had yet to see the day. Boy was I wrong. And you think it won't happen when you're young.

Walking past the south end of uni, I was surprised to see the amount of people hanging around gate 10. At first i thought that maybe the uni was organizing a big event but then a quick look at my watch dampened that thought. I realised that these people were only just regular students, leaving uni to go to wherever. I never see this many people while walking home.

It was 4 o'clock. It wasn't 5 o'clock, or 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock. It was 4 o'clock. I left in such a hurry I didn't realise it was still so early. I couldn't spend another minute in that office/lab anymore today. I just had to get out. I felt as if I was going to faint, it felt like all the air in the room was suddenly sucked out and I was struggling to breathe. My stomach hurt, my eyes were watery, my head spinned. It was horrible.

I dropped everything I was doing and just fled out the door. I didn't care anymore. I didn't 'f-ing' care anymore.
