Monologue

I have so many readings to do, I hope I can keep up. Ugh, some much reading to do for English, history, sociology and philosophy…Am I ever gonna get some sleep? And the elevators! They’re almost always packed unless you’re taking them at a more random time, like during class. I’d rather not be squished against the wall by someone’s bookbag. Haven’t they heard of putting their bookbag down to make room?! Especially if their bookbag is stuffed. The 23^rd street building especially, I feel claustrophobic in those elevators sometimes. I’m scared that I’m gonna get stuck in a packed elevator one day and the elevator is gonna be stuck inbetween floors. But, I shouldn’t dwell on the negatives too long. On the other hand, a majority of the Baruch students seem pretty friendly at least. But, most of them also seem to rush from class to class and rush out to go to work or go home. Everyone seems like they’re in a rush all the time. I think Baruch is a pretty fast paced college with really no place to hang out and relax. Well, actually there’s a gameroom but it’s pretty packed most of the time except for during class. I haven’t found any other place where people can hang out without excessive crowds yet. There’s also a variety of clubs and organizations. They recommend freshmen join either a club or organization, but I dunno if I can balance that and homework yet. I was surprised that Baruch actually had fraternities and sororities, I didn’t think city colleges had them.
