Actually the allowing of things that make you stronger is one of the more powerful proofs of a benevolent (rather than malevolent or apathetic) god. After all, if humanity were not forced to overcome difficulties (such as tackling an assessment period while under the weather and hungrily penniless) how do you think we would become better, faster, stronger, smarter and shit?
Secondly, you're right about the arts essays. I guess that's why I appreciate being a language major so much - they're not expecting me to go all academic on them, just use beautiful language for the sake of demonstrating my ability to use beautiful language - a compulsive showoff's delight, I tell you. Sociology isn't so bad either - I have to do the referencing thing, but I also get to disprove my tutor's premises with the tools of theology and Catholic social practice. Assuming I actually start working at a decent time (ie not the day before) it's an exceedingly favourable situation to be in.
