When I was a kid, I took classes over the summer (for fun, because I'm that much of a geek*), and I ended up in a basketball class through the program one year. I will never forget the end of the class evaluation that started with: "Although [RT] is not blessed with natural talent for basketball, she comes in with enthusiasm and ready to play. ..." I thought it was a kind way of saying that I sucked.


*Read some of the course descriptions. God help me, some of them still look pretty cool.
