Swimming In The Ethical Gray Area

So I had training for hours and hours today. It was actually pretty fun, because all of us are English geeks who find bizarre word choice and other such nonsense to be absolutely hilarious. Here's my favorite sentence, a delightful piece on The Communist Manifesto by Student A:

In doing so feudalism came to an end, therefore paving the way for bourgeoisie to convert Europe into what they believed would be a "perfect" communist country.

This is from a paper they gave everyone to critique -I'm not even sure that a student actually wrote it. I will not post any actual student work on this page, so enjoy this little before Ann and her honor council goons stop all my condescending fun.

We had a trial run today, wherein one of the experienced tutors and I staged a mock session. Once again, we were laughing the whole time, but overall I think I did pretty well. Not great, but I think I could help some people, maybe.

O.k, enough of that.
