After my second visit to the Writing Center, Kate provided me with a report of the Writing Center’s recent accomplishments and gave me some more information about the changes and improvements going on in her department and in Tutoring & Learning Services. I also conducted two student interviews which were very beneficial to my story because they provided me with honest feedback and comments from students that have struggles and difficulties with writing. I noticed similarities and trends developing between their answers to questions and I will be drawing on those connections as well as looking for alternative answers so that I can show both sides of the story. Ideally I would like to have comments from students who struggle with writing and who are comfortable with writing but both students come to the WC for additional help with their writing assignments.
They are unveiling their new online appointment system in about two weeks, so I think it will be the perfect time for my story to run in the paper so that students will hear about the WC and hopefully make appointments. Their new location won’t be open yet, but having the online system in place before they move will help them test out the software and work out any kinks.
I will be making an appointment for myself in the next week or two because I am really behind on my thesis and I’ve never used the WC before so I feel like now is a perfect time to go and get an insider’s perspective for my story and get some help with my thesis. 
As an English major, I never really thought to go there because I guess I felt like I didn’t need to since I am a good writer, but everyone can always improve, even the most experienced writer can still improve. Like Mr. Roberts said in class, the process of writing is never complete, we are always re-writing and editing and re-writing forever. The same principle goes for learning and practicing the art of writing. Just because we get good at something doesn’t mean we should stop trying to improve and practice. We as English majors should be using the WC the most because our skills need to be polished to perfection since it is truly our craft.
Good night all! Good luck on your projects.
