"Hey."
"Hey. I just gotta quick question. How hard is it to wallpaper a bathroom? Cuz, I bought some wallpaper and I was thinking I could re-wallpaper the bathroom tonight."
"Do you really need something to distract you from yr comprehensive exams that much?"
"Well, yeh, Dad, I do."
"Might I recommend you bake some banana or nut bread or a pie or something instead."
"You could, so it's difficult?"
"Very. Very difficult. I wouldn't do it. Ever. It's a miserable job. You would only be frustrated and pissed off."
"But I need something to distract me from studying. Every time I try to study I just get annoyed and feel like I could better spend my time."
"Because you know it all."
"Because I can't figure out how to understand anything better than I do now. And I've already cleaned the house, so I'm running out of options."
"Have you talked to any of yr professors about what to expect?"
"Yes, it's one theory and one bibliographic question. So, one question about the big picture and probably one question very specifically about a specific type of reference book. There's only so much I can do about that. Either I've learned it or I haven't."
"When's the test?"
"Wednesday week."
"A week from Wednesday. So, not tomorrow."
"Right. April 5, 9am."
"A week to worry and maybe study."
"Yeh."
"You'll be fine."
"Right. I've run out of things to clean."
"Make some bread or something that you can start, finish and enjoy. Then try to study."
Easy for you to say.
