It took me a long time to actually feel comfortable here at Baruch. Splitting time between a full work week and school left me with little time for myself or for any other school activity. If maybe by mere exposure rather than a conscious effort, the concrete, glass, the classrooms and the city itself becomes familiar and therefore a part of my natural environment. My classes have been for the most part enjoyable and I’ve learned more or less but still learned from each of them. The students body is extremely diverse and where some may say that there is a lack of community, I would point out that there is a collective. I see it every time I’m in the library or the computer lab. The endless keyboard clicks made by students trying to achieve something for themselves. I think that’s what I’ve taken away from my first three months of being at Baruch and the city. A sharpened goal and a drive to achieve it.
Also, cats are cute.
