The student is very tired and stressed trying to finish a project that is deterring from studying for exams. It is 3:25 AM and they still need to come up with one final question for the project. Their mind is weakened from lack of sleep and stress. Rather than continuing to struggle on the project question, they decide to stop and begin reviewing for an approaching math exam, knowing it is more important. However, when they look at a review question, they freeze up from not knowing how to solve it.
