When I learn to draw

bunsen_hImagine slightly-jerky hand-drawn animation, a bit like Bill Plimpton's stuff or a certain series of TV commercials...
We see a young woman at a desk, obviously trying to study but fighting off exhaustion. There's a stack of books; if one's TV resolution is good enough one can see titles/authors such as "GRAY", "KNUTH 5", "Ψ0 ∴ ∄ m "*, "ORG CHEM", "ULYSSES".
The woman slumps, then jerks awake. She shakes her head, reaches into a desk drawer, pulls out a blue-and-white can, pulls its tab, and chugs its contents. She puts the empty can down, then her eyes widen. She breathes heavily, gasps, clutches at her chest for a few seconds -- we can see her heart pounding. Books are knocked off the desk; her chair is thrown backwards; she falls to the floor. After a last convulsion, her body lies still. Then an angelic form, with wings and halo, rises from her body and flies upwards out of view; a couple of the books snap after her, alligator-like.
Voice-over: "Dead Bull gives you wi-ings!"
* "Sigh not so, but let 'em go" -- apparently a treatise on the wavefunction calculations encrypted in Shakespeare's plays. Much Ado About Nothing is one of several plays written not by Shakespeare but by a genius mathematician of the same name.
