Good job staging this! Comes off like a short movie -- or maybe just a bad dream.

Good luck (if this is you).

Nice depiction of the nightmare of crunch time. Stronger light from the side of the foreground face would have increased impact.

Ahhh. . . . college. I remember it fondly! Then, it was a long time ago so I'm sure I've forgotten all of these nights!

Good take on the challenge.
