Writing Center

When we received our second writing assignment I was immediately confused on what I was going to be writing in my paper. Several times I sat down to start writing but I could not get anything out. I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to take or even what topic I could pick and elaborate most on. I was hoping that when I went to the writing center I would be able to grasp a better idea and be able to at least come up with a thesis. However, I felt like my conversation at the writing center just left me more confused. I went in there with the two topic ideas of lust and sport. When I left I felt like my two topics were mashed together and I just had a big mess. On the other hand, I did take some notes of our discussion that at least gave me enough push to be able to complete my paper. Overall, after my paper was over I was not extremely happy with my outcome and I don’t feel like the writing center was worth my time. It was hard discussing a paper with someone who could barely remember the book Twelfth Night. I feel like I would have been more successful talking more with Professor Lay and a fellow student rather then a trained tutor. I personally don’t like tutors for that reason. They are never certain on exactly what’s happening and class and in my experiences tutors have always just made things more complicated.
