“Give me five more minutes” I said

When time was quite forgiving.

Breakfast was waiting for me

“Give me five more minutes” I said

When time was not forgiving

A lecture was waiting for me

In a huge lecture hall, a professor with a thick accent is speaking

There’s no time for breakfast, education is not important right?

On April 11th, 2016, I attended one of Alexander String Quartet’s performances at the Engelman Recital Hall. Although I was brought to the Recital Hall during my orientation, I could not remember how to get there. After wandering around countless of times around the Baruch Campus, I finally found my way to the Engelman Recital Hall. The quietness and stillness of the whole Hall really helped set the atmosphere of the performance. This was quiet different from the rambunctiousness of the floors above it, with students scurrying to their lectures, exchanging small and quick conversations to their peers on their way there. As I took a seat that’s not too close or far away from the stage, I took this time to look around, and obverse the interior of this hall. Baruch’s performing arts Recital Hall has been said to be one of the best acoustic hall, architecturally. I noticed how the walls were made up of separate consecutive walls lined up vertically like a domino blocks. The texture of these walls seemed rough, assuming that this was for the purpose of absorbing sound waves as they are projected from the stage. The performance itself as a result, was really good, acoustically. Nonetheless, it was great to experience an music performance at Baruch, and I am willing to attend to another performance at Baruch’s Engelman Recital Hall.

On April7th, 2016, I went to a meeting called “Alternative manga symposium” in room 5-165.  In the meeting, we had speakers to talk about the culture of Japan literature, and how it gained it gained a lot more popularity throughout the years. I wanted to attend this meeting because I was interested in minoring in Japanese, and I was not sure if Baruch had a strong Japanese department. One of Baruch’s professors, Shigeru Suzuki, spoke at this meeting. After hearing how passionate he spoke about the Japanese culture, i was eager to register for one of his classes in the future. At the meeting, I was surprised at how many people attended. Initially, I expected a few people, but a lot more people showed up than I expected. I’m glad that I attended this meeting, because now I am sure that I will be minoring in Japanese at Baruch College.

I attended a Baruch Play from the 18th to the 30th called “The Madness of Solomon Wright”. My friend brought me along to watch this play because he was friends with the cast members. To be honest, I did not expect the play to be good, but my expectations were wrong.  The school club that produced it (“Exit stage left”) did an amazing job. The back story  is that there are a bunch of people in a cult and Solomon Wright is the leader of the cult who can talk to the gods. Everyone in the village is brainwashed because they grew up in the village where the messenger (Solomon) is a schizophrenic psychopath who kills people and rapes them.  Two elders try to keep Solomon alive and cover for his actions because he has rights passed to him with 400 million dollars from his family.  They need him to sign a will to pass his wealth to him.  One of the villagers finds out about this plan, and near the end of the play, she gets lobotomized for her efforts to stop them and the cult continues on.
