For this paper, I have decided to write about homesickness. I am going to do so because for the first month I was here, I was homesick. I want to shed light on how many people are homesick when they leave home to go away to college for the first time. What do you guys think? Have any of you experienced this since you have been at school? If so, what kinds of things did you do to deal with it?
On another note, logic is becoming more and more interesting to me as I study it more. I have learned so much in these first few weeks. I want to continue to build on what I have learned. Kyle said today how he has used logic to help him improve in other subjects. He said writing papers has gotten easier because the philosophy teachers are strict graders and it has helped him develop new and useful skills. I feel like breaking the paper down into steps will make it much easier to write because, whether we notice it or not, we are doing the hard part right now. What are your thoughts on this?
I agree with you and Kyle on how this is going to help in other subjects. Just Tuesday I was in my college writing class talking about the structure of an essay and it was so clear to lay it out with your supporting paragraphs (premises) supporting your thesis (conclusion). It's definitely helping clarify my thoughts.
