Baruch, as I mentioned a few times, was never a dream but definitely a start. Coming in I was determined to transfer out but now not so much. Not because I think more of the school but more because I’m not sure that transferring would be a wise decision. Tuition is great in comparison to most colleges. I also have no idea where I would go, and Baruch has a great reputation. One of the things that I was not looking forward to was having my schedule picked out but now that I’m trying to figure out my spring semester schedule, I have an appreciation for it. Don’t tell anyone but I also really like our LC class.

So how do I think I’m doing this semester? Hmmm Well I’m aiming for a couple of A’s. I’ve been very inconsistent in communications, and music is retarded on so many different levels.

I wouldn’t do much differently during my first semester except perhaps been a little more focused at building a better work ethic. I leave everything for the last minute and my problem is that I take things way too laid back. I never freak out until the last minute which is why I manage to put my assignments off for so long.

I don’t think I’ve changed since I started at Baruch. I’m always the same old me 🙂

MY FISRT SEMESTER EXPERIENCE AT BARUCH LIVED UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT THIS ISN’T A COLLEGE BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT IN THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY. THIS SEMESTER WENT BY REALLY FAST AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. HONESTLY I’LL MISS THE LC BECAUSE IT REALLY HELP ME I GUESS BOND WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND WE WORK TOGETHER TO GET A’s. NON LC PEOPLE PROBABLY CAN’T DO THAT!

IF I COULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN MY FIRST SEMESTER IT WOULD BE BECOMING A PEER MENTOR! I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THAT FREAKING DEADLINE BUT IT DON’T MATTER IF I GOT THE INTERVIEW, I’D GUARANTEED THE JOB BUT, W.E GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WHO DID ATTEMPT TO BECOME ONE.

COLLEGE DIDN’T REALLY CHANGE ME MUCH, I AM STILL THAT SAME OUTGOING FRIENDLY PERSON. AND CONGRATS TO EVERYONE BECAUSE WE’RE ALMOST DONE THIS SEMESTER!!!!

“Spero che vada bene se parlo in italiano, non e un problema, no?… Vabbe, allora… a già si parlava della scuola. Insomma, e una scuola bellissima che funziona bene… oh almeno lo sembra. E poi si vede cosi tanta bella varietà. In questa classe ci sono almeno persone di sette nazionalità diverse, russo, indiano, spagnolo, cinese, africano, europeo… vabbe’ italiano. Eh poi, ah le classi… insomma ci piacciono abbastanza a tutti le classi, no? Vediamo che c’è… Inglese, Matematica, Public Speaking, quella di Communications, poi… quale altra… musica. Allora ci abbiamo tutti I professori. Sono abbastanza bravi quasi tutti… Inglese, vabbe, a parte quello che è successo oggi, tutto apposto. Matematica, lui e molto bravo a insegnare, e io oh quattro dieci e un dodici, voto perfetto. Public speaking e quello… che parla una voce tutta cosi, alta! Un giorno ero nel corridoio accanto la nostra classe mentre insegnava è sentivo lui insegnando dal dentro la classe, con porte chiuse! Quella di communications, va be’ non ci piace a tutti, ma ci insegna le basi giuste. E poi, l’ultimo, Musica! Ma quando mai… questo qua fa’ pisolare la classe dai, che rottura, e poi non ci insegna neanche mai niente in maniera chiara ohh. OK, a già giusto, e anche voi. Siete tutti e due dei buon’ professori. Grazie per avermi ascolto chiacchierare in italiano, ora mi rimetto a sedere.”
