Freshman Seminar Fall 17 EMA

Major and Minor Fair

 

On November ninth I attended the major and minor fair at Baruch. At first I was confused and wasn’t able to find the multipurpose room for a while. At first I thought it was at the gym so I went down stairs, but there wasn’t anything. After I left the gym I walk around the first floor. Then I saw a line near entrance so I thought it might be the room where the orientation was first held. I waited in the long line. After a long time I finally got into the multipurpose room. In that room I saw so many people talking about majors and minors. At first I only looked for computer information system table because that is the subject I want to major in. At that table I was able to learn much more about my major. At baruch there is even a cyber security class, but I won’t be able to take it very soon until I am like at junior year at Baruch. The lady at the table ask me a bunch and question as well as inform me about what the course is like and what career to pursue after taking this class. The lady handed me some papers regarding general CIS track. On this paper it has all the courses associated with CIS that is offered at Baruch. This is especially helpful for me since it’s my major. After I left the CIS table I looked around the multipurpose room. I don’t know what minor I want so looking around on this day might give me a clue on what I might want to minor. I looked into the sociology table and psychology table. I just watch as other people ask question and I listen closely to what they have to say. I was a bit interested in psychology after listening to what the man had to say awhile. This major and minor fair really help me understand more on what I need to take for my major and the different classes available for my major.

Today October 8, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts with my friends. There was so much people there so it was really crowded. We had to wait in line for a long time since there was so much people, but the wait was well worth it, From the first floor entrance they had gift shops, family hall and some children’s art. After I got my ticket, I went upstairs to the gallery. The gallery was filled with

 

people as well. There was people that are trying to draw a sketch of the beautiful sculptures there. There were plenty of sculptures there, some are damaged, but most of them are in good conditions. I have went to other museums before, but this is the first time I seen people trying to draw a picture of the sculptures instead of just taking a picture of it. This museum had many stone statues and sculptures so everywhere I walk, I see people taking pictures or drawing it . There was a old book in the museum and the drawings looks like w

erewolf, but it was drawn in a funny way, which actually made me laugh a little. In the museum there was also jewelries and fine looking weapons made with bronze, as well as pottery. One of my friends use his phone and basically took a picture of everything in the

 museum. He seems to like to take pictures a lot, which I didn’t really know until today. I was especially interested in the Greek and roman art section. I really like the myths and legends from the Greeks and Romans. They are all very interesting. The pottery and jewelry in that section wasn’t that fascinating as I thought it would be, but I still took my time to look through everything. This was a great experience for me because I never went to a museum of art before and

 it was really interesting for me.

 

UCLA

On Tuesday September 19, I attended the ULCA( united chinese language association) meeting and fundraiser. There I got to meet new people that I never seen before. I made a couple of new friends. Everyone was really friendly and easy to talk to. I thought the people there would be more like strangers but, they were very welcoming and told me the requirements to

join the club. In order to join I have to attend one general meeting, one social, and one chinese learning program. From the friends I made there they told me about the fundraiser on that day. I am not an official member so I didn’t help out in the fundraiser, but I helped out by buying some dumplings and thai ice tea. The tea wasn’t so great but the dumpling was delicious. ULCA has interested and will most likely help me get more involved and being comfortable in the baruch community.
