Summer beckons with the promise of long, lazy days, hot nights, and trips to exotic locales (in some cases, this translates to the Korean deli twelve blocks away). Summer also means... school reports! And what, after all, is a school report but a specialised list?

You may be out of school, but that doesn't let you off the hook. If you were to be graded in the following categories, how would you fare? Give us an honest assessment. You may include explanatory comments if you feel they are necessary.

Writing C: This is frustrating. I should be able to write moving novels unlike any ever written before, but I simply lack the patience.

Science F/A: Simply because I realize the truth- that science is a conspiracy designed to conceal the Truth that reality is mutatable, in fact merely a product of will. Whether this is absolute failure or absolute success is a matter of perspective.

Drama A: I do so enjoy causing drama in others, whether it is stepping in at the exact moment of a tragedy, or taking a simply situation and making it emotionally "interesting". I crush fated lovers, intervene in fated tragedies, and otherwise warp personal stories to my whim.

Art C: I confess that my main interest in art is whether other people think it's valuable.

Music A: I have no musical talent myself, but I know and appreciate the arpeggios, descants and and grand arias that make up lives.

Phys Ed A: I can make my body change to obey my will. That's all that's needed.

History A: I am history. Encoded inside me from my birth was the wisdom of forgotten ages.

Conduct F: I live for myself, whatever the cosequences to others may be.
