I Say Boo On That
Life can be a bitch sometimes. That's when you gotta buck up, give it the SUFI and get on with it. Screw you life, I'm bigger than you are.
So, I'm ticked cause i didn't get the writing tutor job. The big issue was that in my analysis of the essay i had a "negative tone throughout."
So?
Yeah, ok, i understand that the entire point of being a tutor is to help people and that i need to be positive, but does that mean sugar coating and pampering people who need help? Granted I could have used more tact in my essay (except for the fact that i am completely lacking in that department), but people who need help don't need to have hot air blown up their asses: "oh this essay is fantastic, don't worry about the fact that you switch tenses every other paragraph, that's just your creative style." No, they need to be told very plainly what their faults are and how they can fix them. That's what i did, and apparently they don't like that.
Fine, next time I'll be positive-er..er.
In the mean time, I'm going to put it out there, Davis community. If you want private help with essays, i can help, if you don't mind my being negative that is. I've got good credentials: English major, 3.59 GPA, A's and B's in every class I've taken in my two years at Davis.
Whadda ya say?
