so here's another session I had recently that went a little smoother...they don't all end up like this, but just thought I'd share:
a woman came in with a pair of papers that she wanted help with...the first she was pretty concerned about, and the second was a brainstorming session...the first paper was sort of frustrating because I didn't see anything wrong with it, but she reallly, really wanted me to find someting, anyting wrong with it...eventually, I came up with a couple of suggestions, really just for the hell of it, to put her mind at ease...
the seond paper is what I really enjoyed...I don't know about anyone else, but I love, I mean absolutely love effective brainstorming sessions...not all of them end up this way, but we really got the juices flowing...it wasn't just a case of her telling me what the assignment was and I threw ideas out there...rather we threw ideas off of oneanother, and explored a variety of different options that she had for writing her paper...good shit...
Hey, what's that smell?
Oh, it's just Ben's bullshit again. HA. Just kidding. You're the coolest brainstormer in the world. My goldfish is swimming in the bowl and looking at me through the [fake] glass. I wonder if he knows who I am. I am the bitch with the goldfish food.
Anyway, the Writing Center is the most fun, sometimes, when you can feel really good about a session. So I'm glad you feel good about this one, Ben.
