judgement day

today one of my dear students called me over to his desk and asked me if i believed in judgement day.  i asked him what he meant.  he said, "you know.  like may 21."  i questioned him further and he divulged details about the world ending on may 21.  with fires, earthquakes, disasters, etc.  but that God would save the "good ones" and take them up to live with him.  i just answered, "oh, ok." 

him:  so do you believe it?
me:  well, yes, i believe a lot of those things will happen.  but i don't think we know when it will all occur.
him:  i think it will happen.  but then, it like, if tha world ends, like, why we got to go to school and stuff. 
me:  its pretty scary to think about all of that happening, huh?
him:  yah. 

a few other students chimed in about whether or not they thought the may 21st claims were legit or not, and what it might be like.  one student had a pamphlet someone had placed on their car with info regarding this "judgement day."  i finally just mentioned, that if it did happen, i hoped i'd get taken up so i wouldn't have do deal with all the scary stuff.  they just smiled, and agreed. 

at the end of class as they were all packing up, i mentioned that we only had 9 more sessions together and then they'd be done.  before he walked out, that same student said, "i hope i only see you 5 more times."   i was SO confused and asked him why, and all he said was, "may 21st?"  and i was like, "oh.  right."
