writing center

I made my way to the writing center on wednesday around 4pm.  I got there and met with the lovely Samuel to discuss my paper.  At this point I did not have as much done as I would have liked to have done but I went none the less.  I had mostly only worked on my introduction and two of my main body paragraphs which were fairly long.  I gave him a brief overview of my topic telling him that I was still working out how I wanted to word my thesis and how I wanted to structure my argument as well as my body paragraphs.  I told him that I wanted to discuss how introverts were much more effective at doing things than people give them credit for and that society is far to bias towards extroverts.  They are the ones who people think are the ideal friend because they now how to talk to people and always want to do something socially.  I explained the positives of introverts that I wanted to get across.  I told him they were extremely good listeners making them good when working in groups because they take everyones thoughts into consideration.  They also are very thoughtful in general because they enjoy spending time alone and thinking about what is going on in their head.  This means that when they make a decision, they are much more prepared to make that decision.  He then proceeded to read my paper much faster than I could read a single sentence.  He stopped briefly at a few places to ask me what I ment and made a few gramatical errors.  He said he liked what I had so far but that the information was a bit scrambled.  We discussed several ways that I could better organize the information including using better transitions between paragraphs.  We also talked about different ways that I could organize my argument so that it would make a little more sense and make my paper flow better.  He also mentioned that bringing in some information about extroverts would be more helpful than just talking about introverts the whole time.  He wrote down all these notes on the draft that I brought in and then our time was all but up.  I left feeling much happier about my paper until I began working on it again.  But that is ok, I will bounce back from my slump.
