Subject: Question about English papers

Hello Professor P,

I like to thank you for reviewing the motif that I’ve chosen to use for the H.W assignment. Although the conference was insightful, I felt that it was too short and rushed. If it isn’t of any inconvenience to you, I would like to schedule an appointment so that we can thoroughly go over it. Thank you.

ENG 2100, M W 12:25-2:05

Almost too months into college, and I have to say, it’s been good. On most weekdays, my earliest class starts at 11:10, which means I can wake up later in the morning. During the 4 years in H.S., it always seems to me like I never had enough sleep at night , but now I get at least 8-9 hours. My professors this semester are pretty nice, I would even go as far as saying that I’m lucky to have them. Yes, I know most of my classmates will disagree with me, but I’ll take it with a grain of salt and a cup of coffee. Coffee. One cup of coffee will usually keep me attentive for the day, it’s a solid investment.

I can’t say that I’ve gotten use to college life, but I’m very optimistic that it will get easier. Navigating the campus no longer seems like a strenuous task, and I’ve learn to use a few of the facilities that Baruch has to offer. I’m definitely getting there. These two months, has been good, but none of it would have been possible without my friends. To many, college stresses independence, but I’ve come to realize that if you try too hard to be independent, College will definitely appear to be more boring and tiresome than it really is. Dependence, in moderation, is good.

These are my thoughts on college, two months into it. Everyday is interesting, so far.

– Xuan.

Hey guys, my name is Xuan. Born in China, raised in the city. I’m currently 17 years old, but I’ll be 18 this November. If I were to describe myself I’d say that I’m friendly and easy-going. Although I’m not particularly an outgoing person per say , I definitely will go the extra mile for a friend in need, truly. My aspiration is to become a businessman, intending to major in Economics, and that is why I chose to attend Baruch College.

As for my concerns about college I’d say it would mirror that of a typical freshman’s; High GPA, joining clubs, and making new friends. Although, I will have to say I am more concern about the fact that I’m using a lot of money to feed myself lunch everyday, something I am not overly familiar with. Let’s just say I have a new found appreciation for free school lunch, lol.  All jokes aside, as far as the 1 month I’ve attended Baruch, I can honestly say that it have been an enriching and rewarding experiences, in terms of friend’s made, clubs- that I’ll perhaps join; maybe, and courses conquered.

The first thing you need to know about me is that I am a BROOKLYN TECH graduate. Therefore, 5000+ students, cramped elevators that surpasses the weight limit, and teachers that doesn’t give a shit, more or less, does not faze me in the least. While most new students grimace at this abrupt transition from HS to College, I take this ‘change’ with indifference, if anything, it pails in comparison. Ask any Tech graduates, surely he/she will tell you the same, no lie. 4 years at Tech had taught me invaluable lessons that will carry me far in life. One of these lessons is tolerance, as I’m sure, no explanation will be required. In terms of workload, H.S. and College are both the same. Truth be told, I did not feel that there was an actual transition, personally, from H.S. to College.

Um….I really don’t know how to answer this last question. I can’t say anything about the future, but I do have plans and goals that I want to accomplish by the end of freshman year. My main goal that I really want to meet is to bulk up. I’ve always been a skinny person, and I’ve decided that upon entering College I would change that. I plan to gain more muscle mass and burn of some fat by working out more. That’s really all I have to say for my first blog, otherwise I’ll just be rambling on and on. Hopefully, this blog was entertaining and offered an insight into my life, if you care.  Alright, that’s a rap.
