So far my first three months at Baruch have been okay. However, the first three months have also been tiring. While most of my classes are fairly easy, the instructors of the classes assign a lot of reading. Along with the reading, most of my classes start very early in the morning, and I’m not used to having to get up so early to commute to school everyday. While I can adjust this later on in my years of college by making later classes, until the semester ends I will just have to deal with it and adapt.sweg

The enrichment workshop, from a personal perspective, inspire me little to none. To be honest, one of the only things the enrichment workshop did was make me remember the bad time I had during the New York Cares project. While I understand what the maker of the enrichment workshop was trying to do, which was to inspire freshmen to do good deeds, I personally believe it was a waste of time. The guest speaker, which was also the person talking in the video watched during the workshop, seemed like a well educated happy man; however, I personally just found what he was saying to be boring. Although I was not pleased or that inspired by the speakers of the enrichment workshop, it  did leave me with a little incentive that I should help people just to help people somewhere in the future which I guess was a good thing.

New York Times Project Reflection

The theme my group chose for the New York Times Project was science. We chose science because science is something that has existed from the beginning of time, and almost everything relates to science in some way or another. Each member of the group had to choose one article that was related to science, and basically summarize it. The article I personally chose to write about was about a project located in Arizona in which solar energy is stored for later use during the night or when solar energy can’t be obtained. The article  I chose suited our theme because in the article innovation to the uses of the energy that exists was discussed, and energy-like most things- relates to science. Overall this was a good experience where I learned not only from myself, but my group members as well.

Dear Professor Dasdfoni,

I’m sorry to say but I will not be able to attend tomorrow’s class. Over the weekend I developed a bad headache that I thought was nothing, but it got worst yesterday after I came home from volunteering for New York Cares. I think it was from being around the smell of compost for several hours. I’m not sure if what I had grew into a migraine or not, but hopefully rest will make it go away, if not I will see a doctor tomorrow.
Thanks and again my apologies,

Who am I?

Hey my name’s Romin Kershaw, friends and family also call me rk or Chin as well. I was born in Brooklyn, NY and I’ve lived here my whole life. I’m the youngest of three brothers, and the last to go to college (both graduated). I’m of African American and Filipino descent meaning my father is Black and my mom is Asian. I’m a pretty simple dude and I’m honestly just trying to find my calling in life at the moment.  My hobbies include listening to music,lifting/making gains, playing basketball,  *trying* to teach myself java programming, and playing video games. I’m currently looking to major in Finance/accounting but I don’t want to 100% commit to either yet because things in life change, and so might my aspirations and ideas of what I want to be in life. My favorite basketball team is the New York Knicks and my favorite player is Carmelo Anthony. I don’t really watch any other sports other than basketball so I can’t wait until the season starts with all the injured players coming back ( D.Rose, R. Rondo, Kobe, etc) it will definitely be a season to remember. The collection of music in my playlist consists of songs from some of my  favorite artists but they also have meanings. Anyway hope you enjoyed this insightful post. – Romin K.  http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Freshman+Seminar+Playlist/90726752
