And she's really pretty

Sadly, I forgot the blog's birthday. Thinking it was January 7, I was holding off to perhaps write a happy birthday blog post. However, the blog was in fact created on January 3. Aw, I missed it! So here is a belated birthday post.

A couple days ago my English teacher asked us to anyonymously answer some feedback questions about the class. The questions ranged from "How does the instructor encourage your interest in the subject?" to "Twitter the class: describe the class in 140 characters or less." Our teacher, Ms. M, sent us to the computer lab to type our answers for maximum anonymity, and left us alone.

The first question we began to ask each other was, "Are you writing it in the second person? Or are you going to refer to Ms. M as "the instructor"? Most people chose second person, and we began writing.

"I should end my answer to #1 with 'And Ms. M is really pretty," joked my friend Maddie.

"That would be pretty funny," I said. Someone suggested that we all request not to have tests. "Maybe if we all write it she'll listen to us," he said. When I finsihed #3 and realized the following question was labeled 5, I didn't know what to do. Should I number the next one 4, or 5?

"What are you doing about question 4?" I asked Maddie. After momentary confusion she realized what I was refering to. "Maybe I'll make up an answer for 4," she said,

"You should answer it 'Ms. M is really pretty,'" I suggested. However, she didn't take my advice, instead writing "4. OBAMA!!!!!"

When two people in the class began threatening to attach each other's names to their responses, one of them said, "Okay, will you write "Ms. M is gorgeous" in one of your answers?"

As far as I know he actually did it. Sadly, I didn't have enough time in the class period left to come up with a clever tweet for the last question. So, we all turned in our responses and wondered what would come of it.

The next day:

"I read your responses, and I'm already trying to incorporate some of your advice into what we do in the class," said Ms. M. "From what you've written, it seems that you all think this class is too easy."

Everyone looked at everyone else. Who the heck implied that!? we were all wondering.

"We said this class is too easy!?" someone asked incredulously.

"I knew we should have united," said someone else.
