Wait, no. The funniest part is that one of my professors assigned not one but TWO midterm papers, due on the same day of course, and then proceeded to complain about all of the papers he’s going to have to grade. Another professor wants us to write a paper (due on the same day as the other two) AND read a book… yes, for the same day. I don’t even want to think about the rest. MSU...
