If, like mentioned in the OP, everyone would really know that the world would end in 2 days, that would really limit options, as people before me have pointed out. Central point: The plan of going to a high-class brothel and shag for two days would probably not work, because all the whores would ALSO want to get the most out of their last two days, and that's probably not shagging their usual customers or worse. 
I like the idea of climbing up a mountain and enjoying the view. Unfortunately, no mountains near me...I'm not sure what I'd do. As I said, the ensuing chaos of everybody abandoning everything to do what they want would make many things impossible.

I'd try and see everyone one last time. Seeing as the people I would want to see are scattered across England, and I'm a poor 17 year old, somehow I don't see it happening easily.

I'd tell the gorgeous Jewish girl at my local Chinese restaurant how I feel about her and try to spend the end of the world with her. You know, if she's single-pretty sure she is, based on previous conversations. Failing at that, I'd buy up a crap ton of booze, have all my friends over for a big party, and get everyone wasted on Tequila shots. I'd probably have my first cigar as well, and go out in style. Probably also commandeer a car and drag race it.

It's a fair point though. If you've got this far without killing anybody then why risk eternal damnation (no matter how slim the odds of it may be) just to see what it is like to take a life?

I probably wouldn't do much. If I didn't have work, I'd probably get up in the morning, take my pills, eat something, check my messages, take a shower, feed the cats, clean the cat box, check the mail, go lie down with the cats and take a nap, get up and eat again, check my messages, ogle some stuff on GW and Forge World's sites, check for any updates on my podcast subscriptions, go lie down and nap again, get up and eat some more, check my messages, take a piss/crap, take a quick look at stuff I could be painting (but won't), take my pills, go lie down in bed and put on my CPAP mask, play my Weezer playlist as I fall asleep... end day one.
Day two, I'd oversleep well into the late afternoon, get up, take some pills, eat something, check my messages, take more pills, then go lie down and fall asleep... forever(?).
I might call my folks... or at least answer the phone if they call... I'm totally not going to check any of my social media accounts... probably too much 'like this if you're ready to die lolz'... or maybe too much #endoftheworldblahblah...
Then there's the expedited way to the end. Day one, just take ALL my pills... have piano renditions of Final Fantasy VIII music on repeat... put on my CPAP mask... and sleep forever as I dream of cute redheads I'll never talk to.

Stand defiantly in the open as fire rains down. Who knows? That just might make a difference.Sane people run, and since probability dictates there are zero chances of survival, they would die. But insanity is absolutely illogical, and therefore is not covered by probability. I stand there as the world ends...a few hours later, I come to, surrounded by smoking ruins. And just like Ahriman in A Thousand Sons, as I walk through the ruins, I get attacked by a tentacled monster, raise my hands in self-defense and instinctively destroy the thing with fire and lightning. My insanity has not only allowed me to survive the holocaust, but given me power beyond the laws of physics.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

I would try to rob SpaceX of their Dragon rocket/capsule, and maybe, just maybe, live for a few more months on the ISS. Lol.
Nah, I would probably go to my field and look through my telescope for a few hours, then drink myself into a stupor like everyone else while sticking my thumb up to the heavens in hopes that the Vogons will pick me up.

In other words, you'd take the insane choice of not running and instead taking front-row seats to the end of the world. Well, if we survive, we ought to look each other up and compare the insane abilities we each received by insanely standing (in your case, sitting) alone as the world ends.

As Einstein said, imagination is more important than knowledge. If I can make it real, then is it insane? Its certainly not going to be easy, but I'm certainly not giving up without even trying.

Actually, scew all of what I said earlier. I'd go to one of the many caves near where I live, and I would take a bunch of supplies and go as far back as I could, and maybe survive. In reality, I would do whatever it takes for even the slightest chance of survival. And I'd bring a rifle with me just in case other people had the same idea...
