I really dont know what to talk about. When talking to friends, i find i can go on and on about random stuff. However, when put in front of people and ordered to speak, i find that my mind goes blank. Well, we were encouraged as a class to say something about Baruch, so here goes. There is nothing really bad about the school. However, there is one thing that just *#$%&@ me off. The lack of windows. Thats right. WINDOWS. Not something that you usually notice when in school (or any building in general) because you are too busy looking through them, and not at them. However, when sitting in a 30 student class with the teacher going off topic, or making you write pages and pages of notes that you’ll probably never look at, most human beings would naturally turn towards the nearest window to clear their heads and stare at the funny looking squirrel for a few seconds. One day, when there was a break in the note taking, I glanced around looking for that window, so i could refresh and brace myself for the next wave of notes, when i noticed that the only thing in the walls was the door to freedom (which was shut tight at the time). When i stopped to think about it, every classroom that I had seen in Baruch was completely windowless. Thats probably why I have been feeling boxed in and twitchy these last few weeks. It is because of the lack of WINDOWS, not my increased sugar consumption. Now, I KNOW most of the rooms arent adjacent to an outside wall, but that doesnt make me feel any better when I am halfway into class and have a sudden urge to look at something other than the teacher. So, the next time Baruch has a surplus in its budget, maybe they should put some paintings up in the classrooms or something, instead of trying to repair the escalators that probably still wont work afterwards. This is my monologue. I thank you for listening, or at least being polite enough to pretend to do so.
