A typical thursday at Baruch

My first class is a combination of two things that I hate, math and mornings. It starts at 10:10 in the morning and continues non stop for two more hours. On most days I am unable to focus after an hour of watching endless numbers be written on a board, I spend the rest of the time thinking about my plans for the following weekend.

Club hours are my favorite part of the day because I get to see faces other than the ones I see in every one of my other classes. I feel like every week I make a new friend in the various groups that I have joined. Its very rare to see a face on campus that looks like mine. One day out of the week for two hours I have the privilege of sitting in a room full of people who look like me and share a similar culture as me. For these two hours I feel completely comfortable, like this is my home away from home.

My second class is music in civilization. This class is very easy, but very boring. I find myself struggling to stay up most of the time. Some days are worse than others, like the day we had to watch a 30 minute opera. That was torture.

My last class of the day is global history which ends at 5:25 pm. This class is by far the most boring of them all. I find it so hard to focus on what the teacher is saying and many times I find myself day dreaming. Sometimes I have to draw all over my notebook just to keep myself from falling asleep. Hopefully, next semester my classes will be more entertaining.
