My favorite enrichment program would be the visit to the Rubin Museum of Art. I just have a thing for museums. They are full of wisdom. If that makes any sense. I just find them interesting because I always learn something new one every visit I make. The Rubin Museum gave me some insight on Buddhism and their meanings in every statue that was made, such as that different hand gestures symbolizes something. I really loved the shrine that was in the museum, it gave me a sense of peace and reminded me that I should just relax sometimes and forget the world. I was actually pretty thrilled to hear that Baruch students have full access to the museum at any time. Going to the Rubin Museum of Art was just a fun and new experience for me.

This gif right here perfectly describes my first three months as a Freshman in Baruch College. It’s just loads of work and in order to manage, I pull all nighters. Well that is probably my fault for always procrastinating an going out during the day, not to mention I have a job. I always stay up late. Sometimes I don’t even bother sleeping. But these first three months in college had its ups and downs. Ups being I’ve made new friends, participated in many school events and just learning new things everyday. Downs being that I have loads of homework piling up, stress from all the midterms I had and papers to write. Now all I want to do is exactly what this gif shows. Just stop doing everything, drop down, lie on the  ground and just take a break.

Oh man, I’ve got everything planned out perfectly.I found the workshop on Tuesday very helpful with my planning. I already made a back up schedule in case my first schedule doesn’t work out. Hopefully it does though, that would be great. I really hope the classes I want to take are open. I’m a bit nervous about this actually. It feels like Black Friday all over again. Have to rush and get the best classes first before others get their hands on them. I can’t wait!

Hi Professor Orange,
I have a question regarding the homework that was assigned on Tuesday. Are we supposed to do all even numbered problems or the problems that are indicated on the syllabus? Thanks!

Raymond Wu
MTH 2003 Course FASD

Time management? That’s something I don’t have and the test that i took shows that I am indeed a procrastinator. I am trying my best to follow some of these advice.  I am doing my blog early for once because I am taking the advice to space my work out. I believe that I already took the advice of to do my work when I feel the most awake, which is night time. I usually don’t space out my time correctly and end up having to do all my homework  papers, and projects last minute. They come out pretty good and I think that’s only the case because I work better under stress. But lately all this stress is getting to me. I don’t think my body can handle staying up every night anymore. I should really plan ahead of time.

Who am I exactly? What am I to you? What do you see in me? Do you see me as more than just a friend? Do you ever see pass my face and appearances? Do you ever think about how I feel? Yeah, we talk and all but I don’t feel like you’ve learned much about me. We have been together for almost a year already, not that I keep count or anything. Do you ever think about what you say before you actually say something? Do you know that your words cut deeply into my head and stay embedded there for a long time? Why do I even bother trying? I’ve been trying for the past year already. I hate being the only one trying. Where is your effort? I doubt myself at times, but I push those thoughts away because I trust you and believe in you. But what do I get? In the end, all I have left is myself. Is there no one out there that I can trust anymore? Is there no one out there that isn’t shallow and materialistic anymore? You tell me, “I can’t only like a person because of their personality, they need to have something to attract me.”  First of all, since when did I ever look bad?  Okay maybe I am a bit underweight but that doesn’t give you the right to change me as a person. I don’t want to hear from you telling me to gain weight, get bigger, and what clothes to wear. I am not your barbie doll. I do not want to hear from you telling me a time schedule of when I can speak with you, I am not your employee. I am your boyfriend and if I am not going to be treated like one then you will end up not having one. I have learned to look past all these flaws and love you for who you are, but yet you cannot do the same for me. I guess you weren’t the one.

I have read countless articles similar to this one. Appointing to the problem of cheating. But I don’t believe that students understand how serious this is. If one is caught cheating they will face severe consequences. I don’t think the association of cheating and taboo has been stressed quite enough to students. As kids, most of my teachers have not enforced strict punishments to those who have been caught cheating. I think the teachers and students are at fault here. Once a student is caught cheating it is the job of the teacher, the more mature one to know whats right and wrong and to teach them that it is wrong to cheat. By enforcing a strict punishment it will teach the students to never ever do it again. However this doesn’t happen which leads students into believing its alright to cheat. But its not all the teachers fault. If students would just work harder to achieve their goals. Then this wouldn’t even be a problem.

Hey Raymond here again. I think doing these blogging assignments are tedious. I like blogging and all but I don’t like it when it is being assigned as a mandatory task. Although I like to express my feelings and thoughts on these blogs, I don’t like how we are given different topics to blog about. It restrains me from going into other details I feel. I have blogged before but it is a private blog so I can freely express myself knowing that no one that I know would ever read it. I follow a few blogs of people who in a way share the same feeling as me at times. For example when I’m upset, I read a blog which is pretty depressing. So I know I’m not the only one out there who is feeling that way. It also helps me cope with my problems since sometimes other people have things harder than what I have to go through.

Well I’m just going to post the pictures here since I don’t know where I can upload a slideshow…

Who am I? I’m Spider man. Haha anyways all jokes aside, I’m just a boy with great dreams. They actually aren’t all that great. They just mean something to me. I want to get somewhere in life. Like both mentally and physically. I want to graduate, grow up, get a good job, save enough money. Then go travel the world with my friend. Well first off I will save enough to let my parents go travel because I owe everything to them. Without them, there wouldn’t be me.  I want to be a professional bowler one day or a bike mechanic. But those dreams are considered silly and childish according to my parents. So now I am set on the goal of becoming an actuary. Being motivated by my friend, I am now currently trying my best in school and everything that I do. I want to be the best. I want to stand above others. I want to impress her. So back to the question of who am I. I’m a biker, bowler, a son, a close friend, and someone’s boyfriend. Well if you saw the first 4 pictures of my “slideshow” you should have noticed… I’m crazy about biking. I own several bikes. One of them which I have built from scrap and did a paint job on. I completely stripped the brakes off of this bike so yes there is no brakes. SOOO THRILLING! I love being outdoors and just exploring on my bike and just exploring the world. I purposely get lost sometimes just to make the trip more exciting.  I love biking so much that my friend and I both created a biking club back in high school as you can see I was in the school papers. Aside from biking, people would know me as the kid with strange hobbies. I collect all sorts of rubik’s cubes and learn how to solve them on my own. I also play with yoyos. Yes its not a common toy but what can I say? I enjoy weird things. As you may notice. Yes I do have a big puffy purple jacket as well as a pink book bag. No I am not color blind. I just prefer some unusual colors sometimes over the normal black and white. I believe I am expressing myself through the clothes I wear. The colors I wear expresses the way I feel. Anyways not going to go too deep into that topic. I am like the best bowler ever. Not being conceited or anything but I almost bowled a perfect 300 game during a tournament. Too bad I got a split on the second frame. Pretty disappointed at that but one day I’ll get that 300. I am a friend, my closest friend believe it or not is brown. So we get called Harold and Kumar a lot. He lives a block away from me. Even though we go to different colleges now. We still talk and hang out at least a few times a week. I am a boyfriend of the girl I am trying to impress (hope it stays that way). She is currently far far away because of college. I won’t be seeing her in person for at least another half a year. It’s okay though we keep in contact whenever we’re both free. One day I hope to become someone who is better than what I just listed here. Who am I? I am a boy with great dreams.

 

The perfect class would be a class where we get to learn about a subject/topic of our interests. Something that has a lot of hands on activities involved! I hate having to read about doing something when we can actually just do it. A perfect class would have a cozy and comfortable environment. Not so comfortable that I would fall asleep but like just enough so I don’t get the urge of getting out of my seat and stretching. I would like a warm classroom. Warm as in mid 70s not hot nor cold. I’m very picky about temperature. I hate being cold or being drenched in sweat. I want the teacher to be enthusiastic. I want them to be excited about teaching in class everyday. At least make it seem like they love what they do, so we can love it as well. That’s pretty much it for all I look for in a perfect class.
