Writing Center

Did any of your former schools have a writing center?
- No, my first writing center experience was here at St. John's.

Have you ever gone to a writing center?
- Yes, here at St. John's. The girl I saw really helped me out. She basically tore my paper apart and had me start from scratch but it actually turned out to be a really good paper.

How can the writing center help you with this course?
- I am certain that I will be going to the writing center with every paper we have to write throughout this semester. As I said before, I'm a horrible writer so I need all the help I can get, whether that be from Professor Marsh or other English majors.

What facets of your writing do you want to work on?
- I have a lot of trouble findind the right words to put. My paragraphs seem very repetitive, and I can never reach the min. page required.

name continued

I asked my best friend and roommate what she felt about my name. She not only has me, but her cousin & other best friend is named Stephanie. So, apparentely people think I'm a great friend!

What's your name?

My name is Stephanie. The name Stephanie means crown. My parents were originally going to name me Michelle, but my Aunt wanted to name her daughter that. So, they decided on Stephanie. I don't necessarily like the name because it's too many syllables for everyone so they just resort to calling me Steph, which is just boring.

Survey question

We were asked to pick a question on one of our surveys and elaborate on it. I chose question number seven. What's your perferred mode of communication? Everyone always asks me this question and I always say text messaging and IM. I really don't like talking on the phone because I find it always awkward to say Bye to eachother. Neither person really knows how to say it and then it just becomes an awkward mess. So, i perfer text messaging, because its simple and short but you still are able to get your point across. And, obviously Instant Messaging. It is so much easier to communicate through IM. I break up with boyfriends, drop huge secrets, and even have been asked out through IM. It's just so much less emotion, because you can't here or see what the other is thinking. Technology has made talking so easier!
