The first semester in Baruch College is over and I’m finally done with all the papers for the semester. At the beginning, I hoped that I could say “I’ve done my best in the first semester”; however, the laziness has kept me from doing my best. I wonder when I can overcome this weakness. I always wait the last minute to finish the works and couldn’t change even though I want to. The one thing that I want to improve is my laziness. The most obvious change that I have after this semester is that I use English more. During High School, most of my friends speak Chinese but I have more friends that couldn’t speak Chinese right now. Nonetheless, Baruch College is pretty good overall. Before I enrolled in this college, I underestimated the college because it’s a Cuny and all my friends who attend another college tried to persuade me to transfer. I was hesitated at the beginning but I want to stay at Baruch College right now. The college doesn’t really matter if you are doing what you suppose to do. Anyway, my first semester is not what I expected. I still considered college as same as High School, so I maintained the routine that I had in H.S. Yet, things have turned out not very well. My test grades were not bad; most of them were above 90s, but my class participations were terrible. I still haven’t used to speak up in front of people. I don’t know how my average is going to be for this semester, but hopefully it’s at least 3.5.
