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.

English Rocks!!!

After coming over here, i experienced a new way of studying English-A hybrid technique. I think this approach of doing English is really good as I learnt to write English with a different view point each time. I learnt to question the argument and completely thrash out all the points and meanings I could extract from it. I especially enjoyed blogging as it was a new concept to me. I had never blogged earlier and used to feel at a loss as all my friends used to blog and I didn't know what or where I could. But I got an opportunity to do blogging and learn how to write concise and yet casual writing through this. Writing for the project I, I learnt how to take one point and write about it in full completion. I learnt how to critically think and analyse and brainstorm points before I start writing. I also learnt how to look at small things and find meaning out of small daily events that take place in my. life. In conclusion I would like to say that the curriculum has given me high amount of motivation and the ability to think about things in a critical way, as I can now assess and immedietly respond to writing about something (even the vaguest of things), without any hesitation or scare as I had earlier before joining this class.
