[Good, that's what she'd hoped he'd say. She's talked to Tim enough that she's pretty sure he's going to need some heavy guidance to get to her standards, especially on the critical thinking front, but she still knows a Newsie when she sees one.

They've got nothing but time, and their options are a hell of a lot more limited.]
USB's fine. Topic and word count is up to you, though I want it to be long enough that I get a sense for your style. If you need inspiration, you can look through old copies of the Shattered Mirror.
