Dear Professor Lubin,

I am in your English 2100 Class.  I am writing to you in regards to the presentation on Essay #4.  I am not clear on if the presentation needs to be exactly eight minutes or if it can be a bit more lengthier.  Also, I would like to know in advance if the speakers will work when we are presenting as I wish to include a video in my presentation.  Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,

Michael Hariprashad

I favor with Heraclitus’s philosophy

It goes something like

One cannot step twice in the same sea

Think about it some more,

Then I’ll make my own hypotheses

Basically,

It’s just me I try to be

No, not the black and yellow

Bug in the air

It’s not about looks

But being comfortable

In the clothes I wear

A wise man once said

To err is human

and to forgive is divine

I think that saying can’t be

More top of the line

I don’t get racism because

We are much more alike than we are different

I embrace the thought of

One human element to the fullest extent

Maybe prejudice is a byproduct

Of people not knowing how and where to vent

I hope one day we all can agree

No one needs experience discriminatory treatment

Starting this blog was harder than I thought because I spent the past ten minutes typing a few words and deleting them after.  I guess stating what’s currently going on is the easiest way to begin a reflection.  Currently, I am a seventeen year old male.  Seventeen because my birthday is late in the year so usually my peers are always older than me.  I will only be seventeen for a couple more days as my birthday is in this month.  Unfortunately, it is a day that I have class.  But that happens from time to time.  It is obvious that I attend Baruch College but I will still include this in my blog to add a bit more length to it.  I think I’m a mature and respectable person.  I’m easy going and I enjoy having fun. Shouldn’t we all? My three top concerns in my freshmen year of college include making friends, not procrastinating and staying consistent with good grades, despite my boring classes.  Procrastination proves to be the prevailing concern as I am doing this blog assignment last minute.  It is due on October 10th and as of right now, it is October 9th 10:19PM.  The commute is very different as it takes me twice as long to get to college as it did to get to high school.  That means getting forty minutes less sleep each night.  I am hoping my first year of college changes me for the better.  Hopefully I can do my assignments earlier.  Time will only tell by the time I do my next blog.
