Good Time or Good Grade?

PLEASE READ
Synopsis below. This video is being entered in a video contest held by the St. Louis Fed. It is supposed to explain opportunity cost, please leave a comment telling me if you understand the concept of opportunity cost after watching the video!

A big thanks to my actors!!!

Synopsis: A student has two choices, study or spend time with his girl friend. He then thinks about what would happen with each choice. What is the opportunity cost of spending time with his girlfriend? An "A" on the test and in the class (he gets a "C" on the test and a "B" in the class). What is the opportunity cost of studying? A happy girlfriend (she is mad at him). Which is less costly to him? It turns out for him getting a "B" in the class is less costly.

Do you want an 'A' in the class or do you wanna get laid?

Clever visualization of the complicated idea of Opportunity Cost in a way all will relate to.
