| this is too good... |
SO...this email is in response to my visit this afternoon to my history professor's office to see an estimation of my grade (as I feel I've completely desecrated the shot for a full 'A' due to my horrible quiz score today). She assured me that I shouldn't be getting anything lower than an A-, which is fine, but she also sent me this email...which is true, but the last line just cracked me up. Explanation to follow.
Stephanie,
I sent you the topics after you left but I had not chance to say
anything else. It has been a rather bad day (for the last day) but let
me re-assure you: your work is both marvelous and idiosyncratic which is
to say, it's original, makes an impression yet tends to fall short of a
task set for you. It may work differently in other classes, but for
mine--had you done excellently on quizzes too and if you could bring
yourself to participate once in a while, that would ensure you a full A.
With those being just basic, let's say, you're dependent on your
written work. Still it's my primary source of evaluation.
In general, everyone has their strengths; very few can do it all that's
required nowadays. When someone can excel in a particular area they can
learn to be adequate in related ones. My advice to you--try and bring
yourself to say something once in a while. Verbal skills, right? OK.
You're an excellent and original-thinking student as far as I know; I
ever enjoyed your essays above any proper responses.

So...the last line made me literally laugh out loud (with good reason, I believe). Oh dear. Related story which is possibly why it makes me happy:
Jer's older brother, Andrew, just graduated. Apparently, when he turned in his thesis paper his professor insighted him into the fact that he had not, in fact, answered the promt, but it was so well written that he still received a B.
I suppose it just goes to show you that if you can write well you can get away with any liberal arts class...haha...probably not a good incentive to actually do more work and studying, but it is rather entertaining.
"I ever enjoyed your essays above any proper responses."
Love it.
P.S. I see nicole in roughly 2.5 hours.
Jer's visit last weekend was amazing.
