He sounds like a t-wannabee. One, is it too late to switch this class for another? Take it when you're less vulnerable and or have the answers to some of these questions? Otherwise, I wouldn't look at it as homework as much as part of your voyage as a musician. I'm not sure how much I want to look at my process (I say that as a comedian) - what if your angst is part of what makes your music soulful? So maybe it's not that you have to "solve" these questions and come up with happy answers, which would be my take. What you've written here may be enough eg "80? Are you kidding? I may not make it to 26!" That is YOUR personal answer.
