a) Baruch didn’t really live up to my expectations. I expected some classes to be easier but it’s a lot harder, and there were so much work piled up. I think I just need better time management and know how to set my priorities.

b) My first semester was pretty rocky. It would have went better if I didn’t procrastinate as much and was more organized with my notes.

c) I would have took better notes and organize my time a little more. If I set my priorities more efficiently, I would have probably done better on my exams.

I’m not a punctual person. Usually you’ll see me rushing to places. When I say, “Meet at 10″, I will probably be out my house by 10. When I say I’m at a certain street, I’m actually a few blocks away. I always assume that I have an extra few minutes to do a million things. When this happens, I think of myself as a superhero, saving myself time by squeezing in 10 errands in an unreasonable amount of time. School? Yeah, I try to get to school on time, it’s always either I’m on time or a minute or two late. Proud? Not very much. I should work on my time management… maybe tomorrow.

So originally I was supposed to get up at 6:30 to get to Central Park around 8… Didn’t really happened. I ended up coming late. It was really really cold. I’m not much of a fan for cold weather. I went to get a hot chocolate and wandered around in the walk. It was impressive seeing how there’s a billion people who actually got up to this walk. It really shows  how passionate they are about this.

Hey my name is Christine Leung. I was born in Flushing, Queens but moved to lower east side of Manhattan around the age of 2 or 3. I really enjoy living in the city because it’s so lively and busy. I’m not much of a rural or suburban person. My top 3 concerns for this year is just getting a good gpa especially when I’m not the best test-taker/study person. I’m hoping that I can overcome that this year and be able to have better techniques to study for any type of material. Another concern is being able to manage my time, wisely. Everyone procrastinates, and I’m trying to get myself out of that field so I won’t have a hard time in the long run. I want to be able to not drag my schedule on so I won’t be able to get things done. My college experience will be different than my high school experience because of the amount of people and the diversity this school brings us. I went to a small high school with only 400 students, everyone knows one another so it’s like a limited amount of people to meet. There’s going to be a lot of responsibilities for myself, like buying textbooks, checking up on my homework online, without having the teacher to remind you every now and then. I think this is a great advantage to meet new people in my class, just so there’s someone I can discuss my homework with if I ever have any questions. The first year of college will change me because I will learn how to adapt to a new and bigger environment than how it was back in my high school.
