LC 14

I am really enjoying my time here at Baruch. Because we are in a learning community, it feels like middle school again where we are all in the same class and getting along with each other so easily. My grades have improved a lot, which was due to the incentive that I had gotten from my lousy grades early in the semester. I attended a lot of meetings and conventions throughout this month, which I felt were very informative and helpful. I found it to be much more productive than just wandering around in the city like I usually do on my breaks. I also got to meet a lot of people through those events, which is always good. I’m really looking forward to the next 3 and a half years at Baruch. I hope to still stay close to all my current class mates because they have really made my college experience so much better!

The Rubin museum was really nice. And it was free! At first I thought that it was going to be a boring trip, but it turned out to be pretty interesting actually. I learned about many cultures and what art was to them. The guy didn’t let me take pictures with flash, and it was really dark, so that was a bummer. I really liked the Buddha shrine that they had up. It reminded me of my own culture. I also found the Tibetan exhibits to be pretty fascinating, in that they were like a mix of Chinese and Indian art. The environment was also very calm and relaxing, since the lighting was so dim. The designs that they had throughout the museum were very nice as well. And their bathrooms were pretty clean!
