stoked

i know, i know, the word stoked usually brings up thoughts of "dudes" on skateboards who have little to no experience reading kenneth burke (but i don't blame them for not delving into that). but that's what i am about the workshop tonight. in just a few short hours, we as a group will get down to business with helping some of the students that i see on a regular basis. although i know that the rest of my team members will be awesome at what they do, there is a fear about screwing up, trying not to completely destroy the student-athlete's papers. which is fair. the papers will come in all forms, i anticipate, and i just hope in the few short hours that we're there a lot of people will be able to get help.
i walked around to some of the counselors on friday, and there should be a good turnout. a lot of students have work to do, and quite honestly, this is a pretty great opportunity. if i had the chance to have someone look at my paper for free in the place where i always do homework, i would be down with it. for sure. we'll see if some of the familiar faces are there, the students that i hound on to do their papers, and i hope that the other groups members have a good time. it really is a great place to be.
