During my time in New York and at Baruch College I have learned many things. Mostly I have been able to grow into a critically thinking person, not simply accepting what I hear if not with proper argumentation. I have become more interested in subjects that I would never ever study if it were not for Baruch core curriculum. I also feel that I have become less shy with expressing my opinion (which is a very Swedish way of behaving).
There is one thing however that has improved that most. That is my walking pace. When I first got here everyone was walking really really fast. I am usually a fast walker but now suddenly people that appeared to be in a tremendous rush kept walking past me. I didn’t take me long until I started to feel however minute walking slowly is a minute wasted. I was not sure what I was in a rush for but I was in a rush. To everything, to school, back from school and even when walking and looking at the “turisty” parts on the city I was in a rush.
Now I barely find anything more annoying that some lazy tourist taking up a lot of space and walking extremely slowly in the middle of the side walk. I wish that it was not illegal to slap people in the back of the head for doing this, for takin up the time of us fast-walkers.
I also happen to be a strong advocate against the capital punishment. But when seeing someone stop and tie their shoe in the subway, in the middle of the stairs in rush hour it clouds my judgement regarding death penalty.
Thank you everyone!
