Magnolia spent the semester between Milton and the meaning of work, which is a more coherent education than most students arrange on purpose. She earned her Nativity Ode tutorial with Dr. Larson, finished Dean Tarr's 'Full Time,' and stacked both into Semester Formation. Then she got a psychology paper accepted to a conference, as if the reading alone were insufficient. The throughline is a student who treats formation as something to do rather than attend. Next, ideally: a colloquium that argues back.
