I was participating the Majors and Minors Fair on last Thursday. I am interested in having two minors, but really did not know how does this can work. So this fair gives me some guide of choosing minors and career.

Here is what I want to share with everyone:

For your first minor, it has to choose from liberal arts, which is required by the school. So for me, choose a language may be useful and a better way out. Also, they suggest that if you want to improve your major through minor, you can pick something that is related. For instance, as Accounting major, you may pick philosophy as minor, which enhances your logical thoughts.

For your second major, as business students, we can pick the second minor from business areas. Such as, economics, marketing, and finance mathematics (this one looks scare to me).

Overall, thanks to our school holding this fair to help us.

And since it is my last blog assignment, hope everyone in my FRO class will have a great GPA and a joyful campus life.

Sincerely,

Chaoyan

Hi all,

I have been in the writing center for several times. Since I have heavy assignment on my English class, writing center becomes a good consulting center for me.

They really try their best to guide you understand your assignment and the readings. These tutors are really patient (most of them) and excellent. And because each of them have different personalities, so they have different opinion or views on the same piece. I gave my paper one assignment to three different tutors, they gave me different feedback. Chris focused on guiding me to better understand the assignment; Deepti gave me a lot of help on making my thesis sentence and organize my main ideas; and Rachel actually gave me a better understanding of how to make a cohesive and consistent essay. They don’t just do everything for you, they ask you critical questions and guide you to answer it based on your view.

I really appreciate Baruch have this kind of academic center to help student improve their writing skill.

And again, thank you Abil, thank you for your teaching. I hope you will get well very soon.

Warmly,

Chaoyan

Set the tea table with clean towel,

The tea leaves are not fresh.

It consumed by time,

Brewed by pure water,

Hold the cup and pull out the water,

By blending the leaves and water,

Scent remains,

Time freezes.

Pull the tea out,

Into the painted china tea cups,

Sip, and sip,

The spiritual of the tea,

Spread on your tongue.

Swallow it,

Haunts your heart, and stay.

Brew up the tea,

Hold my imaginary cup,

And then,

The dream end.

Back to my math homework.

As a Chinese, I always feel cordial when I see the Chinese traditional elements of artistic exhibition in the State.

At the second floor of Rubin Museum, Getaway to Himalayan Art exhibition excites my mind. These paintings, used by mineral pigments, passing the Buddhist symbols through hundred years. Moreover,  the prayer wheel, stupa, and the most important character﹣Buddha, all of these elements are telling me the spirit of Tibetan and Indian Buddhist shining on the Himalayan Mountains.

Especially this painting:

The painting tells us a story about how Buddha universals restoration, and has infinite life for helping countless beings in Pure Land. Under his feet, which is the world for human beings; above his head that is the Pure Land.  All of creatures are blessed by him, the great Saviour, existing through the painting.

Also, there are exquisite metal sculptures in the exhibition:

He is setting on his Lotus seat, looking at us， observing his people.

Thank you for reading.

PS：the evidence

Looking forward to seeing you all.
