aces and eights

(check the allusion in the title)

I got 100% on an eleven page paper that I wrote for my Pursuit of Happiness class.  I suppose I should be thrilled, but honestly, I am a little disappointed.  There was no constructive criticism and no guidance about what could be better.  That's not helpful at all.  Anyway, the paper was on happiness in Sufism.  It's hard to concentrate a history like that into 11 pages.  I wonder if he knows how unqualified I am to write the essay.  Probably not.  There was a time when I would feel that I earned full credit on a composition, but that is not my experience now.

I know how you feel. I get frustrated when I get really good feedback on a piece that I know is not all it could be.
