Observation

So I went and observed in the writing center after class on Thursday. I thought that the writing center was HUGE but it's not. It's nice and cozy and not as intimidating as I thought it would be. The girl that I was observing finished up her first session within ten minutes. The student only wanted a signature because it was required by her professor in order to turn in her final draft. So, basically the ten minutes was only used to read the paper. So far so good!
The next student basically wanted someone to proofread her paper. She had already typed it up and put a cover sheet on it and everything. She just wanted to know what she needed to fix in order to make it perfect. I guess all that roleplaying in class will help us out after all!
After observing I have come to the conclusion that being a tutor won't be so bad. I'm also reassured with knowing I will have a partner in there with me too.

AHH

So, I feel extremely overwhelmed. I absolutely HATE feeling this way too. I have so much going on it just feels like im spinning in circles, and it's not even a month in to classes yet!!! I only took 12 credits this semester because I had a rough time last semester with my grades, which ended in them not being up to my ability. I wanted to focus more on school, especially my anatomy class that I have to retake. I'm also in a sorority and I LOVE IT. It does require a lot of time but it has helped me manage my time and they do help with motivating me with my school work and making sure I am the best student that I can be.
However, I was looking at my schedule and I honestlly don't know when I can tutor. When I do have breaks in between classes It's about a 40 minute break. I just feel if I use that 40 or 45 minute break to tutor I'll be "rushing" the student at the end of the time and I'll be freaking out about being late to class. Because that's what I do, I get myself worked up about anything and everything. So ridiculous, I know. As I'm writing this I have 40 minutes to spare before my lab class and I am in the library. I should go right upstairs and observe because that is what our homework is but I'm scared!!! I think I'll just wait until tomorrow, Thursday, because that's when Nicole will be there and I'll feel more at ease. Oh, and another problem I have, if nobody has notice, I procrastinate a lot...oops! But sometimes, my best work comes out when I KNOW it has to be completed within a day or so. I should probably work on that.

First Blog for 3010

This is my first blog since the end of my English 1020 class. I don't really like blogger, but it has to be done! I liked writing our "What does writing mean to you?" essay. It let me show that I like English and it one of my strongest subjects.
I'm still nervous to tutor. I keep thinking of "What if" situations and it's freaking me out even more. I know I should calm down and live in the moment of being stress free with not having a huge load of assignments. I don't really know what else to type right now...hmm.
