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.

Details and Desctiptions

The curriculum in this class as well as the first project have worked to teach me about finding an argument or statement about something by going deep into its small details and nuances. Every time that we discuss something in class, we are always looking deep into the subject to find out all of the small details about it and this is something I’ve never really done in any class before.
This has also led to me figuring out a new technique to use when describing things in writing. I tend to explain things in a way that I would explain it to myself because that makes sense to me but if that is read by anyone else that didn’t share the same experience that I am trying to convey, they may not understand elements or get the full effect of what I am trying to explain because it might require other knowledge that is still just in my head. I need to work on explaining things in a way that can give the full impression of the experience to any reader.
