The first week of classes is over. Fortunately, everything seems to be going smoothly, and I am starting to be able to adjust myself to waking up at 5;30 a.m on Tuesdays and Thrusdays. I am also beginning to familiarize myself with the surroundings of Baruch College. However, there’s this one place I haven’t visited, but have heard of so many people talked about, the William and Anita Newman Library. For today’s freshman seminar class, Jane Odartey, our peer mentor, took us on a tour to the library and explained to us the different facilities provided for Baruch students. As we enter the library as a class, we already see the library crowded with people, taking advantage of the resources provided for them. I see people waiting on-line to check out books, surfing through the internet, and, of course, closely reading. Jane introduced to us a fast and convenient way to self-checkout books, which I think will be very useful in the future, when I do now want to wait on the long line just to borrow books. I am also pleased to find out that there are calculators and textbooks available to the students, which will be very desirable when I am in need of those resources. Overall, I find the tour to the library quite useful, and anticipating on spending some time there throughout the course of the semester.
Irene!
That’s a really good blog. I am sorry about your having to wake up at 5:30 am for school, the good thing is that you will be able to register for your own classes next semester and therefore be able to choose a more convenient time!
One thing though,always remember to re-read your posts.
Good job!
