Today was such a bittersweet ending to the class and I just want to say that it has really been a great experience. I was truly fascinated by the different talents that everyone showcased in their final presentations. Not only that, but I was able to see all the new things that we learned about art reflected in the presentations… whether it be art, dance, music, or comedy. I am thankful to have been able to start off my Macaulay seminar classes with such a vibrant and charismatic professor and you guys, my brilliant peers. I will really miss going to all those shows with you guys, eating and passing around candy during the shows, and making fun of each other in class. Class was never boring, and I can honestly say that I had fun through it all!

I came across this video today as I was on Youtube and I thought it was hilarious. Even though the video is 15 minutes long, time really flies when you watch the video. There are about ten jokes that they play on people and I was hooked as soon as I started to watch the first one!

Last week, I saw the documentary “Bill Cunningham New York” directed by Richard Press. It is obvious that the film was about Bill Cunningham, and at first, I had thought that this was going to be a boring documentary about some guy’s life. I was completely wrong. Bill Cunningham turned out to be one of the most inspiring people that I have ever had the pleasure to learn about. Even though he had a head of white hair, Bill was definitely not old. Young spirited, carefree, charismatic, Bill spent his days as a fashion photographer for the New York Times. He had spent his entire life pursuing his passion as a fashion photographer and you can tell that he was a very happy man because he is able to have fun everyday that he is at work. He rides around on his bicycle in the busy streets of Manhattan and travels from one event to the next. It is true that he works hard, but it is not work to him. He is simply enjoying himself.

Even though many people say that it is important to love what you do so that “work” does not really feel like “work,” I really saw truth to this statement after watching the documentary.

This is a picture of the Petronas Towers, twin sky scrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998- 2004. The Petronas Towers are a popular tourist attraction not only because of it’s location in the nation’s capital, but tourists can also walk on the skybridge and be able to see the view of Kula Lumpur (KL) at about 558 feet above ground.
