Be the fish... Wait! I don't want to be the fish!

If I could credit animals with conceptual thinking I would say that this is an excellent metaphor for what is going on right now. I can see the jack coming. It will crush my head. Knowing my friend Collin (and I do) I will have to be struck at least two or three times before I totally give up and die. School (plus everything else I have to do) is a bitch.
