Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

The question of whether or not this class has affected my critical thinking or motivation skill. Honestly, it has affected my critical reading in the sense that this is the first writing coarse that I have had to "wallow in complexity". Honestly I wouldn't mind this new found thought processes except for when it is being graded. As someone who likes to be straight forward and get to the point, taking the long way around a thought is something I find at times frustrating. For example, trying to stretch out a point over 4 pages when I simply just wanted to answer it was a bit frustrating and left me more than exhausted after writing. As far as my motivation, I do feel that I have become better at getting everything done since I have until the 11:59 due date and not just the class to turn it in. Nothing felt more daunting than a teacher from high school saying you had until friday to do it when in reality it felt more like thursday night. All in all this class is definitely changing how I approach my english school work.
