Continuing Education

So for my English Composition class, I have to come up with a "mixed tape" that exemplifies something about me...a characteristic or an experience or a phase of my life. That's just a little too broad for me to choose from. I'm much more tunnel-visioned. Anyway, the point is, all the writing assignments have been a breeze, but this one has me stumped. I can't put my finger on why. Maybe I'm stressing too much about whether or not my "fresh out of diapers" classmates will relate to Supertramp's Cannonball. All I have to do is pick 5 lousy songs that I can relate to and write a brief, one paragraph essay as to why.....what's so hard about that? My son (the comedian that he is) informs me that they did this same assignment in his English class during his junior year. Thanks Ian....I feel much better now. Not only am I old and can't get the simplicity of this assignment, but you have effectively taken the shine off my collegiate experience by inferring that "it must be a refresher course". What exactly are you trying to say?
