UW 1A

First semester of college is almost done. Looking back of the three months, I felt glad with my classmates. They worked very hard and got very good grades every time. Their spirit also inspired me. I was very lucky studying around with them. For this semester, I enjoyed the Calculus class most. I did very well in all the tests. As my professor had said to me, “For the most part, you did extremely well and you made the grading of these papers a joy.” It was a big encouragement for me.

I am excited with the next semester. Hopefully, I would enjoy all the classes in spring. Also, I am looking forward to studying on the major in not–too-distant future. Wish everyone succeed in College!

Time goes so quickly, my first semester in Baruch is almost ended. I don’t know what will happen in next year, but I wish I could have better grades. I think I did very good in this semester, I can get a B+ for every class, a 4.0 GPA is not my expectation in the first place. I like my English professor, she is such a nice lady that help her students to learn English in a very interesting way. I like her class the most. I have to write many short papers for my History class, but this professor gives fair grades. I hate music class, because professor is boring everyone, but his class is the easiest. My speech class is the most challenging one, through this class my oral English gets improved. And about Anthropology, I find it is very interesting, but I don’t understand the most material of this class. I just do what I can do for it.

I have already made my schedule for next semester. I am happy that most friends I made from this block have some same classes with me. I hope all of us can do better in the next semester.

Time is very fast. Now is almost the end of the semester.  I got a lot of many friends during this semester. However, my first semester’s experience at Baruch has not lived up to my expectation. I think I did not do well in this semester. I am not satisfied about myself. I did not face everything serious.  Every day I just muddled along. I am very regretted that why I am so lazy. But the things I learned were so bored, I did not like it and hate it.

If I could do it again, I will pay more attention on my study and face it serious. I will learn to how to manage my time that did not waste too much time on other things which were not useful. However, there is no chance that I could do it again. Life always likes that, no time machine. The most important thing is the following thing. Next semester, I will not be liked that anymore.

I think I had changed a lot at Baruch College. My attitude had got a big change. Now, facing everything I will be different. The stress and disappoint also told me that is time to “wake up”. At the end, the thing what I want to say is, even I did not do well, I enjoy my life at Baruch and thanks my friends helped me a lot. Also, to “when” “how”, I am very appreciated you that let me know I have nothing but you, lol….

Time flies so quickly. This is going be the last blog. Since nothing is perfect, I think I did okay in some classes and I have to be more cautious in other classes. So far, I enjoy my Monday and Wednesday’s schedule because I can go to school late and still go home early. On the contrary, I don’t like the Tuesday and Thursday’s schedule because I have to go to school early and go home late. I personally don’t like the two hours break, which I will waste the two hours on something not important.

What I want to do differently during my first semester if I could do it again is that I want to pay more attention to the classes and write better essays. I wish I took as many College Now classes as possible in high school because I really don’t like the long and soporific lecture classes. I definitely changed a lot in Baruch College. Not to mention that I become lazier, I learn how difficult is to write a highly sophisticated essay and how difficult is to make a good friend in no matter what class.

I feel pretty upset with myself in this semester. I do not like all my classes. Since the subject I love the most is Mathematics, and I do not have to take it since I passed the AP test, so I have to take all the classes that do not use numbers or formulas. Honestly, I did not do really well in this semester; I just played around, and did not take everything pretty serious. I think I will get lower GPA than I expected. I am disappointed about the time I wasted these three years. I wish I could go back to High School, take more College Now courses which I had chance to take them but I did not take them, then in College, try to concentrate more, study harder, and do not waste most of my time. So in this semester, I did not read any chapters which the professors assigned or sometimes I read them late, I did not do well in the quizzes or tests, and I did not even understand what I learned. But I do not want to give up easily because of the bad start. Next semester I promise myself to do better than this semester because my education is important for my future. I will try my best to read any chapters as soon as possible, finish my homework earlier, and study hard for the quizzes and tests. So I will keep fighting for my grade until I graduate from Baruch College.

I have not changed a lot since I started in Baruch College. I am still shy, lazy, and take everything easy. I am a shy person because I will not talk to new friends if they do not talk to me first. So what I am going to do is I will talk to new friends and make more friends the following semester. Because I think if I have more friends, I can get more information about something they know that I do not know, we can share, and we can help each other. Also I will remove my laziness to improve my grade for the following semester and take everything serious.

I went to Rubin Museum of Art with Tom and Sid yesterday. The place was small. We thought it has very interesting pictures inside. But it only has historic statues from 19th or 20th century. But we still like to look around and know more about these statues.

But anyway, before we arrived at the RMA, we took 6 train to Union Square. and we had to walk about 5-7 blocks to get to the museum. The funny part was when we went home, we found F train just one block from the museum. And we blamed each other for walking about 5-7 blocks. I also took some pictures from the Museum..

Freshman Seminar Calendar

I’m sorry about the terrible presentation and this is the one what I want to talk about.

Hello, I’m Zhixian Huang and you can call me Pacco. I’m a simple person who is no simple. It’s very difficult to talk about me or I don’t like talk about me too much. So, now I ‘m going to talk two things about me. And you will know more about me.

First, it’s about my dream. As everyone else, I have a big dream when I was young. Because I ‘m interesting in of a lot of things. When I saw someone was happy when he won the first place or he make a good succeed on his work, I hope one day I can be the same place or I can over him. So I am always interested of the study of everything. But it’s impossible to make everything come truth. Dream is dream. You can sleep to get it done, but it become when one’s wake up. Every dream in child-hood seems ridiculous. In the society, most people are working on other people’s dreams. Their dreams comes truth on pc game. For me, my dream is changing the time. Now my most important dream is making money. Money can make everything possible. Every project is completed base on finance. So to become a game designer, it need a better pc and buy a lot of expensive book, software and coffee. So having more money, I can get further on my dream.

The second thing: why I choose Baruch College. First, for a people who want to make money Baruch is a good choice. Second, Baruch is the closed college from my house. In the cold and snowing winter, no one wants to get up early, and walking in the wet street. At lest, I can sleep in bed for more. The third is I can get some experiences. I’m strong on the science class but week in others. So, I think get into Baruch is a big challenge for me, also it can give me more time to study on the hard course.

Three years ago I moved here with great expectations ready to pursue my dreams. Moving to NYC from LA was one of the most challenging but rewarding things I have ever chosen to do.I commuted from my sisters house in New Jersey to New York every day searching for jobs. It was a rude awakening for me. A completely different culture, no parents, and little money. Only my tenacious ambition and faith that God would help me to do everything I needed to. It is definitely a challenge balancing work, school, and married life, but I love my life. The lessons I learn on a daily basis are enriching and are equipping me for my future in music. Songs are pouring from me more freely. I feel like a piece of flint being sharpened with a stone. The pieces cut away from me are my acts of love to the world.

I am happy to be here. I look around my classrooms and see diversity and the potential for greatness. People from all over the world, from different walks of life all united to learn and grow to become cutting edge professionals. It is inspiring to see people putting themselves out of their element. Life is different when you are in college. This is the beginning of the rest of my life. Now, everything I do counts. The accountability I have from everyone puts me in a position where I want to be my best at everything I put my hands to.

I think. NO, I know that we will do amazing things. Believe it. We are unique and wonderful people, created by God to be excellent. I pray that you and I will reach great heights and depths. Persevere through trials, strive to be good people, unafraid of those who oppose us to do the right thing.
