monologue
It’s still a work in progress.. .
Personally, I don’t really see the point of this assignment. this isn’t speech communications class or a theatre class. This is freshman seminar. I understand that this will help our communication skills but I thought that was the purpose of a speech communication class not freshman seminar. Before stepping into the classroom, I thought this class would be enjoyable. However, it has been rather boring and irritating. Boring because this class is very similar to a lecture. Majority of the time we sit and take in the information you give us. I find this class irritating because I dread the free writes. They are very forced and personal. Why are we forced to these assignments? If you want to get to know me, talk to me. With that being said, there is no need for me to go on.

I have to admit, I did not really pay attention. Sitting on the balcony was hard enough to comprehend what the speakers at the panel were saying but to have Lily next to me was the ultimate strike. While fooling around with stupid games on cellphones and paper and making fun of people, I was able to pick up on some things that Charles Li have said. He mentioned about family and self identity. I can’t say I can relate to him but I know where he is coming from. The burden his father put on him and such.

Career Workshop
This workshop was very beneficial…. to be who don’t know how to write a resume. Unfortunately I already knew what a student resume could look like and how to conduct oneself in a interview. I was sitting there trying to occupy myself with games of MASH and minimal chit-chat with classmates. I feel like that the fact that I’ve had presentation such as this one given in high school made me feel there was no need for me to pay attention. From tuning in and out of the workshop I was apply to grasp on the fact that we should not be heavy scent for our interviewer might be allergic – it is better to not smell like rancid or blossom with sweetness but to be neutral.

Sidney Mishkin Gallery
I am very disappointed because I came to the gallery thinking it would have student and recent works, however; it had works from decades ago. The main exhibition, if I recall correctly, it’s called Search for the Real, drawings by Hans Hofmann and his students. His students from when? 10 years ago? The drawings weren’t even that impressing. Most of the works were charcoal and didn’t really spark my interest. But then again, I not used to see abstract drawings. One of the drawings that was up in the gallery was by the artist Robert Fisher, the artist passed away in 2007. This just shows how old the works were and how deceived I was.

Its not about who I think I am, but rather who I want to be. It doesn’t matter who I think I am. What’s important is how I will reach my goals in life.
My top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are, 1. being on time. Since I have to commute from Long Island and my classes start mad early. It’s very time consuming. 2. being able to stay awake and learn. I’ve always had trouble in high school with my attention spam. When I get bored, I tend to block things out and either I’ll daydream or actually dream (sleep). Hopefully I won’t be falling asleep in class a lot. 3. Taking full advantage of the college experience. Again, since i’m commuting, it’s very difficult. When class ends, all I think about it getting home.
What will make my experience different than high school? The long commute and paying for the classes. Other than that, it’s all the same, school wise. We get a schedule, we attend the class, we get homework, we get exams and papers, then we get a grade. Eventually, we graduate. It just like any school system.
I think my first year at college will change me. If it somehow magically does not, then I’ll be a little disappointed. Knowing how I am now and the person I want to be, I need to change some things about myself.
