My experience at Baruch has so far met my expectations. The semester is almost over, time flew by! I met lots of people and saw a lot of my old friends from high school. It’s pretty cool beans.

My first semester is going pretty well. I wish i had more of a drive to go to my classes but sadly…. i don’t.I wish I studied more and didn’t go my assignments at the last minute. it sucks to get a grade and know you could have done better.
Even though I’m not doing the best i know I’ve becomes less lazy and am now getting back into the rhythm of doing work, slowly yet surely >:3

Last week we attended the Rubin museum as a freshman seminar class, sadly we were only there for thirty minutes. Honestly i was quite interested in this museum because it related to me. My family enjoys rock climbing and hiking a lot so my father and his friends travel quite a bit. (Himalayan) Mount Everest is on the borders on Nepal and Tibet so it was nice to learn a little culture about the place my dad wants to go one day.

Usually i hate museums because they are long, boring, and i can find most of the information on the internet but i actually enjoyed this museum. I learned about how you don’t wear jewelery when you are enlightened , gain an extra bump on your head to show you gained knowledge, and how the position of ones hand showed your status(teacher).

One thing that stood out more than anything else was the environment of the museum. Maybe it was the emptiness of the closing museum but the quiet darkness of the scrolls and eerie “flame lit” shrines were cool beans.

I would recommend this museum if i ever did recommend a museum.

Dear Professor Beans.

I am sending an email to you  to confirm that i was absent on 10/11/2011  because i attended a funeral. I am sorry for the absents and is very unlikely to happen again.

Sorry my monologue was terrible. I have trouble processing my thoughts into words so it makes it pretty tough.
people always asks me why i want to be a chef, and i always reply i don’t know.  I honestly don’t know why but I feel like that is what i want to do. I enjoy cooking and seeing other people enjoy it, sadly i am lazy and don’t like to shop for all the ingredients. I think my real ” passion” for cooking comes from my childhood where i grew up in my parents produce store. i would always go to the kitchen of the Italian restaurant next to my parent’s store. I would see everyone cooking and see all the cool stuff they would make. Im just happy when i do it.

1. Tell us who you think YOU are!

Hola! me llamo benjamin kim. I am a normal american born korean student. I am very normal and do normal things like going to the mall, taking long walks on the beach, and skateboarding.  I actually don’t do any of that stuff. meow.

2. Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and explain why.

My first and foremost concern is making it to school, I took 2 years off of college so its a little difficult getting back into that learning groove.

My second concern is making friends. I feel old when im in my classes. Even though this shouldnt really effect me when making friends, it does.

MY third concern is studying.I never really studied for anything in my life… focusing is hard :[

3. So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?

The amount of free time and lack of “care” from teachers is what makes college different from highschool for me.

4. How do you think your first year at College will change you?

I’m no fortune teller but i don’t think it will change me much.
