blog 9

I went to the library alone everyone in my group had already left. It was very difficult for me to get there because I am not really familiar with the 1 train and that’s the one you have to take to get there. While I first went in I got a little bit surprised because it looked like if it was a museum. I didn’t really stay for long because I was alone and I felt very bored and uncomfortable. But while the time being there I went to the three floors. In the first floor I saw some pretty interesting things such as orchestra collections, cds from old to now the present; they had library catalogs for the people who want to listen to the music that interests them. After just looking around a little I went up to the second floor which was something like the first just that they had different types of stuffs such as music books and a right next to that was a music desk. There was a catalog that had different types of songs. There was also something that caught my attention they had seating’s for us the visitors and music of all types of genres but the most popular ones were jazz and classical. They also had a couple of books on dance, film, and art. Then while on my way to the third floor I realized there was so much security and they were making u leave your stuffs behind that I didn’t even bother going in I just headed back down and just left. But this trip would’ve been more interesting if I went with classmates. Hopefully in the future I will get 2 explore it all from head to toe.

My Birthday is coming up

Well this week I am very excited my birthday is coming up may 13th . This Spring break was very crazy. I had so much fun went out clubbing and played handball in the park. As everyone can see I got more tanned. It was very hot good weather to just be outside and getting a tan. In the class I have been learning a lot of new things. For example I learned how to use the key for writer’s book, how to write in a college level and use proper grammar. I've had so much fun in college is my first year and I met a lot of new people and made new friends. Everyone is more laid back there is no fights and is peaceful. In the class I have had a lot of help from classmates. I learned how to work in a group and search the library. We had a scavenge hunt and it was fun because I learned how to look for a section or specific type of book. Also how to use the library through a computer. They have all different kind of magazines, newspaper articles, journals, and catalogs in the homepage of the library. For the people who still don’t know the link here it is take a look and explore it: http://www.lagcc.cuny.edu/library . The English class is so different from high school. I never wrote so many essays in a semester like I have done so far in Dr.Smiths class. There very complicated to do at times and I am kind of bad at grammar and sentences. But while doing my blog’s and workshops I have gotten help and learned little by little were I made my mistakes and corrected them. I have had no problems with any of my teachers they really have helped me out a lot and I am learning and concentrating. Like I mentioned in the beginning of the semester I tend to slack of school and I was going to try and focus. I have improved so much and I am very proud and would like to keep going and get my masters but my only problem is that I don’t know what career to choose. Any of my classmates or teachers have an idea of what I can choose? I really want to pursue in a career of building and construction. Dr.Smith do you know any colleges were I can apply to after a year in this school? Well this was an open blog about anything this is what has been going on with me any comments let me know. Also my birthday bash is may 16th is going to be in a club so I am inviting the whole class for who ever likes to party and just chill. Ask me for more information if you want
