Writing Center

     The Writing Center is not for me. I felt pressure, more than anything, to write quickly. I felt like some tyrant was staring down my back as I wrote, scrutinizing every single mistake. As my fingers clicked the keys, I became overly aware of every single error, and I would promptly erase it. Apparently I don't have stage fright, but I do have a fear of writing in front of people. I think that they're judging me for daring to do something as blasphemous as spell a word wrong. It makes me really nervous, and I couldn't help but feel anxiety. My heart was lurching out of my chest the entire time. The creaky plastic chair burned my skin. I was sitting on thumbtacks the entire time. It wasn't a "first time jitters" thing either. I simply don't like to have someone else watch me type.  I don't think that it was my Writing Fellow's fault, I just didn't enjoy the experience.
      At the Writing Center I did get some pointers, but I didn't find it very helpful. I know that the Writing Fellows can't write my paper for me, but I think that I could probably accomplish more by myself. I didn't feel as if I got much out of it. All that they could do for me is proofread, but I could get a friend to do that. I can understand why some people would like the Writing Center, but I didn't find it any more helpful than sitting and proofreading with a friend.
