He stares at his empty cup and considers yet another dose of coffee. No, he decides, his hands are already shaking like a drug user in withdrawal. It shouldn’t be this difficult, he thinks as he attempts to reason with his already overloaded brain.

The harder she struggles, the more difficult it is to concentrate. She knows that this is the last opportunity to save her grade and is in serious trouble if she can’t pull off this project.
