I've Run Out of Space, Time, and Ideas

It's the last day of school. I'm back in community college and the professor has assigned for the class to take a booklet, a short story, and make another booklet out of it, something illustrated and different.

I made headlines for each page with a story sum, but the booklet I have has many pages in back full of math equations and geometric shapes. I have no room and have run out of ideas. Someone suggests putting some math equations into my story and I protest "I dont' understand this, I don't remember how to do any of this!"

I ask the teacher, who was also the instructor I had when I actually went to college, if I can have a continuance on this to finish it. If not, can I pass it in as is.

She replies "If you pass it in now, you will get an Incomplete."

I sigh in frustration before waking up.

    Recalling what you said about my reply about "castles in the air", I wonder if this isn't a metaphor for your present situation.
    You know better than I how many people took up teaching as a safe, secure career; and now find they've gotten an "Incomplete."

    Excellent! I'm a teacher's aid and it was once considered a good field to get into for work. Now the jobs are scarcer and more school districts are looking for a higher certificate than what I have now. So yeah, it fits.
