Final Exam Take Two

[fightingofthespirit]

Ahh.

Right. Completely forgot about this in all the excitement. Can't really blame a fellow, you know. . . . Have classes ended yet? No? Well, then, I'll be in first thing tomorrow. You haven't all been coming and waiting for me to show up everyday, have you?

Anyway, your final exam projects were due . . . about three weeks ago, I believe.  No more extensions for anyone else who forgot; I think you've all had plenty of time. Since I haven't seen any cookie sheets placed conveniently outside my doorway, I assume none of you went in for the obvious approach.

On a separate note, has Professor Itoshiki taken ill lately?

Here. [Thrusts a tin of cookies at Klarth. In terms of conception and execution they are close to being the ideal cookie, being baked to perfection, a solid mixture of flavors and decorated beautifully.

Unfortunately they were also made without love. They are sad, soulless cookies, totally lacking in heart or joy...the confectionery equivalent of a paper flower or a bird without wings. Woe.]

I only remembered the assignment when I saw and ate Tsuna's cookies.

Someone ate all my cookies before I could get to class.

. . . . . . . .

Well. I wouldn't have expected you to participate in this, but good job, either way.

[A bite . . . ]

Hmm. Quite good. A-.

You mean A+. It's an easy mistake to make, but I'm sure you don't mind being corrected in this case.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

No, no, that would take an extra penstroke. Too lazy for the plus.

[sonofabat.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty lame excuse, Professor.

It is, isn't it? You can pick from the following, then.

First: Someone fainted last week in the kitchen while cooking for somebody she called Master Daiman.

Second: Tsuna's cookies were apparently consumed before he could hand them in by somebody else.

Third: Your cookies, though delicious and made with obvious effort, still lack a certain something. I'm not sure what.

Fourth: We're living on a magical island. School is optional. You and I could disappear at any time. Grades count for absolutely nothing.

Any of these satisfactory?

What?! Those excuses are just as bad! What I do outside the classroom shouldn't affect my grades.

Besides, it's not as if I ate ALL his cookies. I only had two.

And if you can't identify what my cookies are supposedly lacking you have no right to take any arbitrary marks off!

As for your last point...if it doesn't matter then you should just give me the A+.

Home Economics is, in essence, the study of how to be a responsible adult. Part of it is called 'human development'. Your behavior outside the classroom is a reflection of what you learn in this class. You may be right about the last one, but as your instructor, I take an interest in you, personally, as my student.

If you're still not convinced, the third point still stands. An A+ means a perfect cookie. I can tell it's not perfect, even if it don't know why.

Either way, here's an extra credit project in human development. Make it up to Tsuna and the kitchen worker, and I'll do something about the grade.
