Blogging From Barnard: Uptown Girl
This post is part of an ongoing series of blog entries by Anjie D (FG3), a freshman at Barnard College writing about her college experiences on the blog Uptown Girl. Here's an excerpt of her latest musings.
What I learned from the Internet today: 1. People don't read my blog when I don't write in it, with a few anomalous days where I actually got a few readers. 2. I'm not as bad of a college student as I thought I would be, especially transitioning from my tiny, weird little public high school to Barnard. I actually got decent grades -- just shy of a 3.5 GPA, actually, which is really good for one's first semester of college.
Winter Celebration 2009
The house was packed at First Graduate's eighth annual Winter Celebration and Founder's Award event on December 8, 2009. The Parent Association organized a festive evening filled with great food, award presentations and good cheer. Staff, families and supporters attended the holiday event, held at The Bay School, to honor the hard work and dedication of our students and volunteer mentors over the past year. After filling up on a buffet dinner of potluck dishes representing the many diverse cultures of the First Graduate community, attendees took their seats to celebrate the accomplishments of the 30 students and four mentors receiving awards.
