First Day in School
Today we will officially start the new year. Hope that everybody had a great new years eave and a wonderful beginning of 2009. What better way to start the new year than move one from the admission process to the actual 1st semester.
When I got accepted to FIT I also got a brochure saying that there will be an orientation week. I truly recommend that you will go and participate even though you don’t know anyone because that’s the whole point of those activities. I personally had a blast, and got to know my first friends here in the US, this is particularly important if you are international student, I know how hard it is to be so far away from your family and childhood friends.
My first day at FIT I had only two subjects, 3D Design and Survey of Interior Design. I’m not going to talk a lot about those subjects because 3D was the most boring and useless subject ever. You can’t even imagine how boring it was. The instructor always talked and kept going to things that are not related, but even things that were related even a small bit were boring. We didn’t learn anything but cutting geometric shapes and gluing them together. I will though show you our final project. Because as bad as it was, it also was an easy A.
Survey of Interior Design on the other hand, was not as bad but come on guys it’s history, it can’t be too much interesting. I will say that our instructor was an easy one. What do I mean about that? Well he never gave home work, you didn’t have to take notes either. He was teaching everything from a power point slide show, and before we had our midterm and final tests (which were by the way the only ones) he just printed his slide show out with specific questions on them. So if you have good memory, and you can memorize three pages, you’ll be fine and will get an A.
After the first day of school, I wondered if this is the profession for me. I had high expectations and after 10 minutes of the first class I just doubted my decision. But, don’t worry, Monday was my least favorite day, everything got better the next day and on.
