Section APR2A

I attended the staged reading of A Doll House with my English class in the school theater. The actors did a very good job in conveying the emotions of story without any props.  Staged readings are surprisingly interesting because the audience must rely on their imaginations to fill in for the missing props.  The room next to the theater with the sofas seems like a really comfortable place to hang out or sleep.

My English class attended the reading of Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” last Wednesday as a intro to our next topic we will be discussing in class.  I have already read the play before hand so I was curious to see it read out the way it was meant to.  Going in to the performance, the producer told us a character named Dr. Rank was cut from the play.  I was interested how seamless the play moved along without this character in it.  Now because it was a reading of the play, it wasn’t acted out to over dramatic, but the characters played accurate roles.  Overall, I felt that it was a great change of pace to see a play instead of just reading a book in class and after seein the play in it entirety, I have a better understanding for it.

I attended the workshop on communication and found it interesting.  The speaker told us about the importance of communication skills and the resources available at Baruch to help improve them.  Although we already covered this in freshman seminar, Baruch provides mock job interviews and resume reviews to help us prepare for the real thing.  The speaker also gave some tips on what classes to register for next term and recommended taking a communications class with Professor Garvey.

It was very informative workshop. There were many tables, which were divided by sections. we could go any table to ask some questions and get informations from them. I went to medical center and got a document that i needed. There was raffle tickets, but i just did not pick up. It was really helpful and good to go.

It was really funny workshop. There were too many people trying to go inside the gym for the faor. After swiping my ID card, i went around the Gym. There were many clubs with diversity signs. Actually, i had been in Chess Club before, so i went to there. They were playing chess with other guys. I signed a clubs, which is KCCC. It is Korean Christian Club. Now, i sometimes go meeting for KCCC. It was a very funny and satisfying work shop.

The freshmen reception workshop was the second workshop after library tour. After getting a letter,which is about the workshop, i went to the freshmen reception workshop. Most freshmen participated so students were divided into some seperated groups. I went to a lecture room. It was really short meeting, which was really good for me.
