Strangers in a Small Town




I thought I would share another solo consultation experience that I had in the writing center yesterday.  I met a girl from my hometown with whom I share numerous mutual friends, but yet I had never met her. I think that this immediately situated us comfortably (except for the fact that we are technically cross-town rivals).  We covered a paper for WRA class about family history.  It generally had great flow, but there was on specific problem that I was shocked about.  The use of the word "like" before quotations.  It was similar to a Valley-girl from the movie Clueless.  I was like..and She was like... I made sure to correct that issue because it was the only thing that brought the paper down.  I am pretty sure that she now knows the proper words to use.  She was extremely nervous, but I eliminated that by light humor.  Actually I made her laugh so much that it probably developed into a distraction.  I need to keep that in check.  
Best,
