Why?!

Why is it when you get work it comes in giant clumps? I have a 5-10 page paper due on monday and a test, a test on fri, and I have a midterm for history tomorrow/thursday. Why don't we just space it out a little so that I can go about my life like a sane person instead of ranting on about the morality of the founding fathers? Is it really necessary to have this all at once? I think not. I'm calling this my formal protest.
