I should be alright.  I feel alright, you know?  Yeah, let’s do this, I’m ready for this shit man.  I’ll be fine.

Proceeds to walk to class.

Why do I feel like this? It’s Halloween, a Friday morning at 8:30 and here I am passing up my math exam.

Wait on hold on a minute?

When did I finish my exam, what class is this? I look at the time, then at the board, then at the teacher. I’m so confused.

I ask the dude next to me. Yo, Chris what the hell are we doing?

He looks at me funny, and tells me if I’m alright?

I notice the teacher looking at me, and I start wondering if I’m in the right class.

I excuse myself to go to the bathroom, I look directly at the mirror.

And I tell myself “Redwan, you are so high right now’.  

A few friends and I went to the Starr Career Development Center to revise our resumes. They were helpful and gave me great advise on what to edit for my resume. They also told me what to exclude and what format I should start using. They spent a great deal of time revising and told me to come back with the updated resume. I can see the Starr Development Center being very useful for me in the future.

A few days ago, I attended the interest meeting for Traders at Baruch. Walking into the trading floor at the Library building was extremely intimidating. Everyone at the meeting was well-dressed and it created a unique atmosphere. Throughout the meeting, I realized how competitive it is to join the club. However, it seems like a great opportunity to learn about options and stocks.

There is a multi-step process to joining the club which includes submitting a resume and going through a few interviews. I thought it would be a perfect way for me to gain some experience. Here is a blurry picture of me at one of their interviews last Friday.
