The art from this museum was pretty interesting. The art collection was of religious art from cultures of the Himalayan mountains including the cultures of Nepel, Tibet and Bhutan. There were many sculptures of Buddas that were interesting. This workshop helped me to understand the culture of and religion of the Himalayan people.

I thought this workshop was a good idea but it ended up teaching us a lot of things we already knew. I guess one good thing about it was that it tried to teach us how to create an affective resume but everything else with the interview i thought was stuff we should already know. She also said some things that i didn’t think were completely accurate.

This panel discussion was extremely boring. Even if i wanted to listen i couldn’t because it was so loud in there. I even think i saw Charles Li Na’s wife in there talking while he was talking. I didn’t know what they were talking about or the message they were trying to convey. There is nothing really more I can say about it. It was just a waste of my time.

Who do I think I am?  This is not something you think about everyday but the answer to that question is that I don’t know. From day to day, what I think of myself changes. One day I might think of myself as smart, nice, friendly, giving and outgoing but the next day I could make the dumbest comments, and ignore people, and not offer my help. This all depends on what kind of day I am having. If I have a day where get good grades and don’t have to do writing assignments like these, you will see the Maurice that can be good to know but if I have a day where I do have to write essays and my fantasy team loses, you will see a person that you WOULD NOT want to know.

Being my first year in college and in Baruch, there are some concerns I have. One concern I have is my time management. After I go to school in Baruch I go to a job working in a real estate company until six o’clock. Being that this is so I have little time to do my homework and have little if any for personal time. Another concern I have is the type of work that I will be receiving, for example, essays and speeches because I am not good at them.

College is a very different place from high school, especially the one I went to. In high school, teachers were more out to help you and kind of handed me everything on a platter. Also in high school essays were less common then in college. One major difference was that in my high school everybody knew everybody because of its’ size. In college, you meet new people everyday because it is so big.

After my first year of college I think I will become more independent because I am less dependent on the people around me such as my teachers and my peers. I also think I will become more mature and have better time management.
