I enjoy listening to people as much as I enjoy talking to them.  I like to help people with their problems.  I found out that self-assessment is the most important first step in career planning.  My choice of major and career goals did not change after the self-assessment.  The results showed that I was more social than anyone would have thought and it showed that I had a bright future being a financial planner.  There were no drastic changes from the results I have received.  Participating in FOCUS 2 helped clarify a future direction for myself.  I became more sure about wanting to work with a group of people and not be alone, but be independent as well.

The Mishkin art gallery was very interesting.  I didn’t know the school had an art gallery until I went with my freshman orientation class.  It was very close and we don’t have to pay to enter.  The paintings were nice and interesting.  I liked the painting of the movements of the people.  I do not remember the name, but the painting only had lines and nothing else.  The lines showed the movements of the people who were in the original painting.  The painting told a story and we had different views of the paintings.  It was a nice time to not think about school.  The atmosphere is like any other art gallery.

The Health and Wellness Enrichment workshop was very relaxing.  It was informative.  They showed us powerpoints as they were talking.  They spoke about how to relieve stress and what to do to reduce stress.  Stress can cause strokes and heart attacks.  We learned how to measure our levels of stress.  They handed out a worksheet that measured our stress levels and if we were if category A or B.  Yoga and simple stretches helps us relax.  We watched a video that was a short a clip of Kung Fu Panda and Happy Gilmore.  After the workshop we received stress balls and a pens.  Closing your eyes and breathing in and out also helps you relax.  We should have time for ourselves to not be too stressful.  There are good stress and bad stress.

I can’t imagine what it would be like attending college for 4years.  I don’t know where I’ll be and how I’ll do.  I just can’t wait to graduate already.  Few weeks ago I was on the 7 train.  The station lost power and there were no subway after 74^th street.  There were still 50 somewhat blocks left to go.  The whole block was crowded with people and it seemed like it would take a few hours to get on the shuttle.  I heard a cop say it was only a 30 minute walk to Main Street, so I decided to walk.  As I was walking I felt that there was no end to the walk and wondered if I would even make it to Flushing.  My phone wouldn’t turn on so I couldn’t call anyone and I didn’t have a watch so I couldn’t tell how long I was walking.  I felt annoyed, angry, and upset.  I felt as if this was all because of school.  If only I didn’t have to go to school I wouldn’t be in this situation.  Yes, I decided to walk and not take the shuttle.  There were no buses.  I walked and walked.  I crossed the bridge and finally arrived at Main Street.  I got on my bus and realized I was attacked by a pigeon or some bird.  I found bird excrements on my bag.  Ewwwwwwww.  This just made my night even better.  On the bus I tried turning on my phone.  This just made me more furious because it turned on stayed on.  Before, while I was walking, it would turn on and when I tried to make a phone call it would turn off.  That day I wished I never attended college.  If only I didn’t, I wouldn’t have bird poop on me, my parents wouldn’t have worried, and I wouldn’t have been so annoyed.  I felt as if college was to blame for.
