You’re telling me there’s work to be done. I’m telling you I don’t want to do it. You insist. I show you it’s already done.  I love surprising people, I love being efficient. I am the person who likes to get things done, a perfectionist to the core, and with the adaptability of a chameleon. I’m the one whose sarcasm took you two thoughts to understand. Before you fall over laughing. Prankster. Naughty girl. Nerd. Super-polite girl. Brat. Friend. Know-it-all. I’m just “that other kid”. But you’ll look at me twice. For good, or for bad.

I don’t think you care what I like or don’t like. Whether I grew up in Manhattan, Queens or Bronx. Whether I have siblings. My favorite color, and taste in music doesn’t matter either.  I really, and stress that really, don’t like small talk. For now, you want to know; will you get along with me? What impression did I give? Do you want to continue the conversation? Am I right? Do you?

I ended up coming in late, and missed the group. It was incredibly cold, and not one of the most pleasant times of my life. I grabbed a cup of coffee from a star buck before I took the subway, and it kept me awake in the sub-way ride. I was impressed by the amount of people there, and how much people care. Being that early on a Sunday morning, I was also impressed by the amount of energy people showed.

I think I am one of the species Homo Sapiens, who lives in New York City, and attends Baruch College. I’m sorry if you don’t agree, but that’s who I think I am. I also think I am fairly outgoing, very sarcastic, and decently intelligent. Aside from that, I also think myself an efficient person, and very open-minded.

My top three concerns are; grades, career, and money. I want to get really good grades, and that causes a good amount of stress, even though I cannot call the course materiel hard (which gives even more reason for me to need good grades). I’m also worried about getting started in my career, finding internships, etc. And everyone worries about money.

I think Baruch College will be easier than my high school. With only 3 days of class a week, it’s not a lot of school. There’s enough homework to keep one busy for a few hours, but I’m used to doing the same amount of homework daily back in high school. It’s also slightly amusing that I am taking the similar classes in college as I took in senior year of high school (Calc, law/politics, philosophy,etc).

I think my first year at college will change me…how? I suppose I will be using the word ‘college’ in present tense and not future tense…
