The school is much bigger than I thought, so at first I got kind of lost and I couldn\u2019t find my classroom. But then some nice girls helped me to find it. The classes were exactly what I expected. My first class was HAR 016 &#8211; Fashion Art for Fashion Designers, where I learned the correct proportions for fashion sketches. Everyone was really nice when I told them that I was from M\u00e9xico. I was not the only international student in class &#8211; \u00a0there was another boy, Rodrigo, \u00a0from Venezuela. My professor \u00a0was very nice and kind. She \u00a0actually helped us buy our supplies for the class.<\/p>\n<p>My second class was HAC 063-Careers in Advertising and Marketing Communications. This class was more theoretical than the first one but very interesting as well and also exactly what I was expecting. The professor&#8217;s examples were based on his personal experience in the fashion industry.<\/p>\n<p>The school atmosphere is nice, don\u2019t you think? During our lunch break, I hung out with friends and ate a slice of delicious pizza from Rosa&#8217;s, right across the street from the D Building. I also enjoy watching other FIT students yesterday. I found some of their outfits so original, don&#8217;t you agree? \u00a0I wore something simple &#8211; a crochet white t- shirt and a green skirt.<\/p>\n<p>So how was your first day?<\/p>\n<p>Ximena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I arrived to NYC on Sunday, I noticed that FIT was 20 blocks away from my apartment!!
