So you're in lecture, assuming nothing will go wrong for the day. You're caught up and where you need to be. You're sitting near the back in the lecture hall quietly reading your texbook as the proffesor is yammering on about boring nonsense. Then you hear a bunch of rustling paper and whispering students, indicating that it is almost time to leave. Your professor announces that she is going to be taking down the still life tomorrow. At first you don't hear it right. The still life?? TOMORROW??!! Your still life contour drawing is DUE on thursday and you assumed you'd have time to finish it in your studio class.
you
haven't
even
started!

No time to panic, though. It's 1:58 and you have a class accross campus at 2.

You akwardly waddle to class. (your messenger bag weighs a ton because you stuffed in all your art supplies at the last minute becase you weren't sure exactly what to bring)

You get to class and luckily your TA isn't there yet, so you're not late. You brought everything and are prepared to work for the whole two hours on your value reduction study. You've finished two of the four projects due on Wed. for this class, so you're in good shape... right?

Your TA starts talking about this new project due in two weeks. Blah blah blah... and THEN she says
This new project...
the estimated cumulative time you will spend working on it
is
forty
to fifty
HOURS.

Hours?
yes.
Hours.

You spend the rest of class staring at your value reduction study. The clock reads 3:59.

you throw it away.

You mope back to your dorm room
and commit

suicide.

No no no..
That's what Jesus would do. Not I! And I don't mean the biblical Jewish Jesus. I mean Jesus the Mexican Impressionist painter. And forgive me..I actually know nothing about any of this so take no offense!

Forty to fifty hours for anything from school is an idea that scares me. A lot. If that's what college is like I'm afraid to graduate highschool...
