Christina sat tapping her pencil against her notebook as
Professor Randall Steward went over his expected coursework. The syllabus was at least
four pages in itself; the amount of work he was looking for in his students was
ridiculous! Didn’t he know they had other classes to attend also? And on top of
that after spending $300 on books and equipment alone for this course he wanted
them to purchase their own chemistry set to bring with them to class? It was
already too much and she was not looking forward to the ten page dissertation
on the organic makeup of the cellular compounds found in the marine life near
Cyprus-Gray. “This is going to be a long semester,” she griped and scribbled a
note on her syllabus concerning the essay.
