Don't you guys miss getting school reports? I guess I'm egocentric enough to look foward to the bit of paper all about me, me, meee! Even if I'm dreading what it will actually say and I know my parents will never see it anyway. This year though... there was not one comment with words to the effect of "able but lazy". This means that the one thing that my reports always had in common with my brothers' and sister's reports no longer applies. As usual, there was a comment about my oraganisation and time management, but this time it was positive! Some of the highlights, in terms of omg they must be thinking of the wrong person:

Eileen has a mature and determined approach to her work.

Eileen has worked very hard this year. She has taken to do this subject with some ease and practicality.

Eileen is a conscientious student who always tried hard.

Eleen has had a good half year. A commited and focussed student who has made good progress.

She can do this.

Eileen is a very positive member of this class. She takes a keen interest in the wider school activities.

I used to only get comments like that when they had confused me with Marian (before she got stupid).

My mum actually got to see this one. She gave me $1.30 to buy a donut.
