MADELEINE: (staring at Julia) Who would like an Imagicknation lesson?
JULIA: Not me.
MADELEINE: It's really fun! You-
JULIA: Madeleine, no, I have to do homework and-
ME: I'll do it, Madeleine.
THAT'S how you take one for the team.
My lesson was on "Self-Surprises." Madeleine talked about self-surprises with me, then gave me a homework exercise to fill out. The first page detailed a scenario, including guidelines towards how to fully realize my self-surprise:
Next, I had to fill out answers on a worksheet, complete with a "because":
This was *exactly* how I wanted to spend my afternoon.
I dutifully took the time to fill out an answer to each question, without neglecting the very important "because" that Professor Madeleine asked for. I thought I did a pretty good job, all things considering, but I guess I did leave something to be desired. Here's my grade:
Madeleine assured me that her grading system runs all the way through the letter "Z," so a C+ is actually a "really, really GOOD" grade. But man, I wonder what you have to do to get an A in Imagicknation?!?
I would have given you an A+ for even taking the time to fill out that Imagicknation Test!
