What J-school Feels Like
Imagine yourself in an action-packed thriller.
You're the heroine (or hero), and you've got to find the treasure/defuse the bomb/save the hostage or fulfill some other kind Herculean quest.
You don't have enough of any of the resources you need. Time and rest are in particularly short supply.
You are confronting overwhelming odds from the get-go, but you persevere because there is that one-in-a-bajillion chance that you will succeed. But only if you keep moving,
You cannot stop for one second or you will lose everything.
And just when you are tantalizingly close to declaring victory over the forces of evil, when you have cut the last wire or pulled the last innocent bystander to safety, everything starts all over again.
It's like Speed. On speed.
Actually, it's like Speed meets Groundhog Day.
Minus Sonny and Cher.

LOL! You need the secret code that tells you where the magic mushroom shortcut is, so that you can SAVE THE PRINCESS!
Slow it down, and it sounds disturbingly similar to acting. I guess acting is like "Speed" on heroine.
LOL as well!
Wish I could by you a ticket to that hammock by the sea...
