Well, THAT was unexpected

I got a B+ on a paper today, which was refreshing. I never get Bs, although I have a B-average; it's a B average because half the time I get As and the other half I get Cs. Basically, what it amounts to is that I do the assignments I find interesting, whether they're actually assigned or not, and don't pay attention to the directions if I think they're purile.
Teachers don't tend to know what to do with this. Half of them say "this is nothing like what I asked for, but you're so obviously a genius that I'm going to give you an A anyway." The other half say "this is nothing like what I asked for, and I would fail you, but you're so obviously a genius that I'm going to give you a C anyway."
A "B+". Wow. Maybe I should frame this.
[For anyone who's curious, it was a dream conversation with Adam Smith about America's changes to his idea of a market economy. I'll forward it to you if you like -- it's pretty entertaining. The teacher comment was: "Very creative. Well developed but more than twice as long as the assignment called for. Double space next time." I hate double spacing, and always have.]
