I think that with all the great work you did last week, you deserve some rebellion and maybe self satisfaction from proving your T wrong.

Is there a way you can transform this "assignment" into something that might actually be useful to you? For example, if I were you and this assignment, I'd track when I used said beloved "cognitive assistance" and write down exactly how it was useful to me then.

As an argument for keeping it, said to T.

Remember, you're in charge. You don't have to do the assignment at all, you can do "it" in any form you want you, you can sit down and write her every about how stupid T is for even suggesting it.

You own it and everything else about your inner world. Don't give it away, even at T's request, unless you really want to.
