On October 29th, I attended Mediating Conflicts Workshop. First of all, the office of Ombuds which helps students to solve conflicts with anyone in school was introduced to us. It was very important information for us because it is commonly to have conflicts with other people, such as our peers, professors. During the workshop, we were devided into several groups to practice when the conflicts happen. Our group was luckily asked to present. We created a conflict between an freshman instructor and a student. And we solved the problem in a right way. The workshop was great.

Einstein’s Dream
Einstein’s Dreams adapted by David Gardiner and Ralf Erik Remshardt from the novel by Alan Lightman, and it was directed by Brian Rhinehart. The show was presented on November 17 at 7:30 pm in Baruch performing Arts center – The Bernie West Theatre.When I walked into the theater, I was really surprised by their scenery. It was just way too simple. There was a black board on the upstage, a piece of white fabric or silk on the floor, and a few special rhombic lighting equipments hanging in the center of stage, that’s all. To be honest, I was a little disappointed, because I was expecting to see some settings that represent the time period of the play. Under the weak orange color that emitted by those special light bulbs, the whole scenery seems dreamy and would probably fade out in any minute . For me, the most impressive part of this play was that the entire company really worked as a unit to show the essence of the novel, because it was about Einstein’s three dreams which required each performers to act multiple characters. It’s definitely a tough job, but they overachieved what I was expecting.This is actually the first formal play I saw, which was very enjoyable. It got me into thinking the enigmatic time, and I have started getting interesting in theater. I can’t wait to see the next play!

Coloring up your future
I attended this workshop called “Coloring up your future.” Alfonzo Quiroz was our guest speaker who talked about his life as homosexual. He was interested in politics and did work in politics few years ago. He said, coming out to everyone wasn’t easy, because everyone started to talk about him even cursed at him. But he did mention, he was comfortable and did succeed in his career compare to those who hid their true identities. He encouraged us to never be ashamed of yourself, and always face obstacles courageously to over come them. He was very inspiring speaker who reminded us to be proud of ourselves and never give up.

Internship and Goal Setting
I attended the Internship and Goal Setting working on November 10. This was a very useful workshop because I have considered applying for internships while I’m in college. At this workshop, they provided many information for us regarding the different type of internships offered for us. They also suggested us some companies we might want to apply internships for, of course, depending on what we will be majoring in. They also provided a booklet containing all the information they presented to us during the workshop. They also told us that we have to prepare a lot for internships, because we might work long term in the companies in the future. This workshop was really helpful and I enjoyed attending it.

Arts at Baruch: Einstein’s Dreams
On Tuesday, November 17, I went to the play Einstein’s Dreams at 7:30pm in Bernie West Theatre. This play is about Albert Einstein’s work. The work of Albert Einstein is doing the theory of relativity. The actors of this play were cool because they do different style of shape in different time periods. This play is interesting because actors keep changing the position very fast in different time and it is a small theatre to do the play. All the actors are Baruch students and they are excellent actors. This play is awesome because all the actors are very talented performance.
