Flying in a November night

No turbulence, no strong wind

Peace reminded in and out

Everyone was dreaming

Dreaming of ups, dreaming of downs

Dreaming of the upcoming destination

Five hours passed

The captain announced

We are here! We are in New York!

Off the plane

The place was unfamiliar

With no recognizable faces

We were lost

Seriously, in an airport?

Anyway

Speaking a little English

We made our way to the arrival hall

It was 5:30am

Where was cousin?

He supposed to be here

No cellphone plan, no data

It was impossible to get in touch

He in the parking area, we inside

8:30am

Finally, he came in

Everyone was full of joy

No more waiting, no more curses

Let’s go home!

Later, we found out

We misunderstood the meeting place

Upsss! Poor cousin

I recently attended the Live Musical Performance and Workshop: Alexander String Quartet with my English class on April 11, 2016. We heard two pieces consisting of a quartet; 2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello. The performance was absolutely beautiful and sparked a feeling of creativeness within me. It brightened my mood and was just utterly compelling. They were such a fine group in every possible way, They were so in sync, musically, technically, or in any way anyone wants to view it. The quartet was so in control of the musics emotional contours and deep in their element. Being that I am a dancer and went to a performing arts high school, I basically studied classical ballet nearly 4 hours a day for almost 4 years and found this performance so fascinating. It reminded me of my days in high school where I would dance to such similar music. They literally had me dancing in my seat. Following the performance we spoke about classical and contemporary music, and how it ages. I would absolutely recommend this to my peers and if anyone is actually interested they have a couple of upcoming performances Wednesday April 13th and the 15th.

P.S. We were not by any means allowed to use our phones during the performance so I could not provide any media with my post.

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

Early one morning I looked in a mirror trying to see the version how other see of me.

Trying to figure it out the inner of the true me.

Not surprisingly, I fount the optimism on me

I am a dreamer, a believer and an achiever

Seeing an opportunity in every difficulty

Always expecting the best of everything

Meanwhile ready to handling the worst

I’ve fallen so many times,

so I’m so experienced

Life is good today and always

So I chose to live it since I was given the chance.

Since I have started college, my life has been more stressful by having this much of work to do. Everybody should do something to “free their mind”, to relax. On Tuesday after school, my friend Alex and I went to a dancing workshop.It was a lot of fun and very relaxing, we learned many different dances from different cultures. Some of the dances were: “Baccatta”,”Azoto”,”Etighi / one drop”,”Bollywood”. Going there I had the benefit to learn some new way of dancing but also in the same time to meet new people. I would suggest everybody to take the advantage of this good opportunity and go there.

On Tuesday, Aneta and I had an opportunity to experience a career workshop.Building a business career, finishing the business school and finishing gives you many job opportunities. In the conference that we went, there were five people, each one of them worked in big firms such as “Footlocker”,”Time inc”, “Macy’s”, “The huffington post”, “Espn” and everyone had different positions in their jobs. They taught us, how we should work in team in order to achieve something, how we should do research for a firm, if we want to work there, what we should post in social media etc.Going to that conference gave good advices for the future business career.
