I'm drowning in statistics

Well my stats professor decided that it's ok to have 2 problem sets due this week because we didnt have one due last week. While that logic is questionable already, I forgot to mention that the reason that we didnt have one due last week was that we had a midterm instead. So now I have 40+ problems due this week (20 due Tuesday, 20 due Friday), which is gonna take me probably 8-10 hours to do not because the problems are difficult, but because he demands that we follow his archaic process for every problem:

Step 1:
Rewrite the problem in your own words.

Step 2:

Define any and all variables that you're going to use.

Step 3:
State what is given by the problem

Step 4:

List any and all mathematical relationships you think might be useful in solving the problem.

Step 5:

Solve the problem using the correct probability expressions from step 4.

At least I have a buddy to do the problems with, but we couldnt stick to our usual routine of interspercing rounds of Halo: Reach or SSBB every half dozen or so problems because he has a midterm on Tuesday that he has to study for.

The moral of the story is that whining about how much work you have doesnt make you have any less, but it does make you feel a little better about it.
