What the hell is this??

Once upon a time, there was an omnipresent being named Kami-sama who watched from the heavens the lives of the mortals. He was omnipresent, omnipotent, and omni-pranksterish.

On June 28th 1987, Kami-sama watched with glee as an asian girl was born in Liaoning, China.

"When she's in University, I'm going to make her suffer." Kami-sama said. "Its going to be fun to watch her struggle with the crazy amount of work that she has to do. Oh boy, I cannot wait!" Kami-sama started doing a little jiggy dance in happiness.

And so, years passed by and this little girl grew up. She was a bit of a tomboy and was rather unlady-like. But she had some very nice friends and overall lived a normal childhood. And then, without knowing her imminent doom, she entered University. There, she spent a relatively fruitful firsy year and was under the false notion that. "Hey, this isn't so hard after all."

She had very little worries going into second year of University. By now, Kami-sama is sitting at the edge of His holy chair, waiting in anticipation for the punch line.

And then it came. It was mid-october, right after thanksgiving, before halloween, and during oktoberfest. The amount of work came thundering down from the heavens, casted so long ago by Kami-sama. To add in a cruel twist, Kami-sama made sure that not only was she loaded with work, she also had multiple obligations to her school, faculty, program, and orthodontist. Plus, she has to find a job for the upcoming term, and in order to make her suffer just a bit more, Kami-sama made sure she got rejected by all the jobs she applied to. After completing Kami-sama knows how many midterms, projects, speeches, assignments, and going to Kami-sama knows how many different events for her multiple obligations, she was thoroughly tired.

She had, for her first time, tried an energy drink to help with those all nighters she was pulling and to her surprise, or actually, not to her surprise, it tastes like cough medicine...

At this time Kami-sama looked down from the heavens and muttered. "No, she's not sweating enough, this isn't fun. I mean, I know that aside from academic and career oriented obligations, she has to cook and clean for herself, plus she has cleaning duties to clean the common areas, and the building while living part of the residence, and I know she doesn't have any free time to do anything and never goes home to visit her family, but its still not enough!"

Suddenly, a lightbulb lit up on top of Kami-sama's holy cranium. "I know!" he squealed as he snapped his fingers. "I'm going to make sure she has 4 final exams in two days!"

And with his omnipotency, Kami-sama made it reality. The poor asian girl who was already struggling now has a death sentence looming over her head in one and a half months, during which the amount of tasks she has to do will unlikely cease. Of course, that work is BESIDE the daily readings and homework, which she is ridiculously behind in.

Her only consolation is that in order for Kami-sama to get His laugh of her misery, He has to bring about the misery for everyone in her program or at least to the few indiiduals that received the same scholarship she did for which she has to maintain an 80+ average.

"This is a test of Will!" Kami-sama proclaimed, with a mischievious glint in His eyes. "I am here to teach you the hardships of life and that you have to work hard if you want good results! Nothing in this world can be achieved without effort and it is to teach you to put more into what you are doing!"

The asian girl gives Kami-sama the finger and tops that off with a string of very colorful words directed at His Almighty. However, deep down, despite Kami-sama's reasons for making her suffer, she knows his words to be true. She knows that there will come a time where there may not be that one course, or those two courses, that will do all the pulling up of the average and that as she progresses into the upper years, Kami-sama's jokes will only become more cruel.

With a disheartened look on her face, and a depressed soul, she marches onward into the unknown, putting new vigour into her work and proving to Kami-sama that she will have the LAST LAUGH!
