Out of all the enrichment workshops we have attended, my favorite one is the performance of Baruch’s Voice.  It is my favorite workshop because it was fun and interesting to hear other students’ first year experience a Baruch.  It is worth to know the similarities and differences between mine first year experience at Baruch and others’ first year experience at Baruch because it somehow gives me a sense of how others are doing, and I can learn from them, from their mistakes or successions.  In addition, I like the performers who were presenting the monologues written by students on the stage; the ways they spoke, the way they acted, the way they added emotions and the tones of their voices made the whole show fun and interesting.  The show inspired me a lot because it made me think of the future at Baruch by hearing different stories and thoughts others had about Baruch.  Sone people hated the school, some people liked the school, and some people don’t even care.  However, I’m looking forward to the upcoming years at Baruch.  Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Baruch, the best CUNY school in New York City.  I’m finally here, after four years of hardworking in high school.  I suddenly feel I have grown a lot and have become more mature.  I am a college student now, not one of those high school kids who have nothing better to do but hang out on the street after school.

The first day of classes was easy.  Everyone in the class is cool.  They are all friendly and only mind their own business.  Most of my professors are old, as I expected.

“Shit, so much work to do for this semester.  So much reading.  I hate reading, and I am too lazy to read anything.  I didn’t even do my summer reading Brooklyn.”  I said to myself as I was looking through all the syllabus papers.  Well, it’s just like high school that we have to read this and read that.  But, did I ever read?  Maybe sometimes when I was in the mood.  I guess I will just figure something out.  Hopefully i will read as I told myself before, at least something.

College professors are so fancy that we do our homework online.  My Micro-Economics homework is due today; I guess I will do it at night then.  The night time is always the best time to do homework because I get all these ideas to answer my questions which it doesn’t happen at the day time, mostly.  “What the hell? I got a zero on the homework that I didn’t even start?” I said to myself after I decided to do my homework at 10 p.m.  The homework was due at 5 p.m.  Wow.  Do students do their homework at 5 p.m. anymore?

Tomorrow is the midterm, I will spend the night and tomorrow morning on the train study the material.  I think it’s more than enough of study as I always do.  Last minute study always works the best in high school.  Perhaps for college too.  Unfortunately, I got a D, the very first D in my life.  I learned my lesson, never wait till the last minute to study for any test in college, unless you know everything.  But still, it won’t hurt to get an A.

Essays, research papers, essays, book reports, essays, and more essays.  Why do we have to write so many essays?  I have already gotten my second essay question when I still haven’t gotten my first essay back.  Indeed, we will be super well prepared to write anything in the future, hopefully.  One thing that I enjoyed writing essays is that I got to print them out in the school library for free within $100 budget.  I feel accomplished when my papers come out fresh from the printers.

Three more weeks until the end of my first semester in college.  I’m planning on moving into the library during finals week so I can get those As.  I’m looking forward to the winter recession.

I am terrified of spiders.  I hate it when a spider made a web at the corner of the ceiling in my living room, when lived in the country side.  Their long and thin legs disgust me.  I always wanted to get them off from the ceiling, but I preferred to let them stay up, so they would not attack me.  I like dogs.  I like all kinds of dogs; big or small, fat or thin, cute or ugly; as long they are clean and don’t smell.  I like hanging out with friends, I mean friends that are close to me and open to talk about anything.  I like to socialize with people; connections are important to people.  I like photography and I like to take pictures.  I like to use my camera to capture those moments I wanted to remember.  I like to edit my pictures with Photoshop.  It is fun to photoshop pictures like putting a monkey onto the moon.  It would be awesome if I can take pictures with my eyes, so I will not miss any cool things I seen.  I like to sing.  Even though I don’t have a sexy voice, but I go to karaoke with my friends all the time.  It feels good after singing songs and songs; it is a good way to release my stress.  I love to eat.  I wish I can just keep eating and never get full.  I play volleyball and I enjoy the time I spent with my teammates on the court.  It is such a fun sport which requires not only skills but also teamwork.  I can play volleyball for hours and hours and never get tired.  It is a good workout too to make me stay fit.  I like to go outside to do anything.  However, when I get lazy I could stay home for days.  I wish someday I can win a lottery ticket and have a lot of money to shop.  I love shopping; I will buy anything if I have the money.  I enjoy the peaceful environment in the library of Baruch College.  It is such a good place to study, to do homework, to watch dramas on my iPad, and to take a nap.  I enjoy the hundred dollars free printing and the three hours laptops.  Indeed, the free Wi-Fi service in campus is one of my favorite things about college.  Internet is such a great invention.  I could sit in front of my computer all day chatting with my friends, watching funny videos and playing different games.  I am the type of person that is shy in front of strangers, but all my friends think I am funny.
