In this event our LC went to the panel discussion with he author of the Bitter Sea. Charles N. Lee was surprising more americanized than I thought. Even though he had a Chinese american accent, his sense of humor really put got attention. He still seemed to be in a very good shape after all that he’s been through. I thought the toll of living in China and the slums would have a big impact on his  physical features. Although I found the author to be very interesting the overall mood of everyone seemed to be very bored. I can’t say I wasn’t part of that crowd in the beginning of the discussion but when it got to the questions from my fellow peers it was a breath of fresh air. Before this at one point our LC were all doing our own thing and so was everyone else in the room. There was a guy a couple of rows below me who had fell asleep after ten minutes of introduction. Overall i thought of this Academic Enrichment meeting to be satisfactory.

I’ve been through the good and the tiresome times here in Baruch. My first thought when I arrived at Baruch was “wow i don’t think i’m going to pass” but over time even though class have been very demanding I had found many ways to work around the massive homeworks. Not really work around it but more like finding an inspiration to actually do it. Homework was never an attractive thing to me but thanks to the freedom that we get to choose whatever topic we want, it has made homework  just something one would enjoy doing. I would have to say my less enjoyable class had to be philosophy. I like the lectures overall but the reading has just been a pain. Overall i think the semester has gone on really well for me.  Although there were the hard times , my favorite part about Baruch so far has to be our LC. Hanging out with my LC made everything more enjoyable because we don’t have to worry what everyone might think of you because being in an LC is basically just a group of friends. During these three quick months  I had meet a lot of new friends. What was good about meeting all these new people were that everyone came from a different part of the city so it made everything more interesting. Out those bunch of friends I’ve meet there were ones who were always there in times of need. Everytime I needed to know something about an event or homework someone was always there. I think i made a good decision in coming to Baruch and hopefully three years from now I would still think the same.
