This challenge *rocks.* One thing I've been enjoying in some of the stories (shellmidwife's and heuradys's, for example) is writers taking the opportunity to use some of their own specific professional knowledge in the documents they create. So this weekend, after several grueling days of getting new college students oriented and registed, and scribbling reams of file notes, I found this floating into my head. It's wayyyy over the word limit, so I'm posting it on my own webspace rather than in LJ, with apologies for inconvenience. Just a bit of silly fluff, but I had fun writing it.

It's funny how vivid college-Ray is in my mind. I have quite a few students of his general stripe, actually, as I commented to Beth above--charming, energetic, ready to do all kinds of exciting things, just not sit in a classroom. A lot of them are there basically to make their parents happy, but the whole thing often results in discord. I was very pleased to be able to send Ray off on a path that ends up working out well for him, since I can't do that for a lot of my RL students, alas. Thanks for your comments!

I don't know if this will make you happy or not, but one of the challenges in the list is "college-age characters"--Fraser and Rays and Frannie and Welsha and all that. *g* So you may be able to draw on this for a later story!

This rocked, btw. And yeah, it was so real, academically, and so Ray, characterologically. This is the best challenge. Love this.
