Oh I got an A on my WalMart paper!
I've got a solid A in the class. And we do a paper per week.

Ouch. I think I had to do three or four papers total for my freshman English class in college. Later I took an elective on Shakespeare (bad mistake) and it was still only three or four papers. They were tough ones though.

Well it's an English Composition class, to get freshman ready to write for college. It's not too bad. Most papers are short. We have three longer papers in the semester. The last one will be in November and my argumentative essay will be on whether or not Obama deserved the Peace Prize. (don't want to get into it here, though)

This one is informative about something we know a lot about. Or at least can write a successful paper on. Two people in the class are writing about zombies. . .

Oh well in that case - if we always go off topic - here is a typical price for work in the Netherlands:- would you pay about 35000 euros (current rate of exchange 49000 USD) for someone to fit a bathroom for you?

(Typical bathroom size over here is about 3 meters X 3 meters X 2.6 meters high) For this price you'll get tiles, posh German taps and perhaps a Danish sanitary suite comprising bog basin and shower and may be underfloor electric heating if you're really lucky...

Deal or no deal?

Not here I wouldn't. No way in hell. But actually I wouldn't be paying that there either. I'd do as much myself as I could.
