Before attending the common event for Macaulay, I was a little unsure of how exciting a poetry reading would be. After hearing the first poem, though, I was reassured that this would be a good experience. Her style was unique, and although I didn't quite understand the message of everything she read, I was definitely captivated by her use of language as an art form. As the other poets stood at the podium and recited there work I was impressed and very moved at times, but I felt most moved by the final, Native American poet.

I decided to explore Baruch and see what I would find. Since I'm usually clueless about the what's going on in my own school, I thought this may be beneficial. And simply put, I found myself with a lot of photo ops. Did you guys ever look down from the 13th floor of the Vertical Campus? I wanted to capture the height and depth of the location, but from the 13th floor all I could get was the site of 2 floors down. Eventually I got to the 8th floor and I think this is quite a site. It is a long way down. And looking around, you see what is goung on in Baruch at all times.

 For lack of something better to write about for this blog entry, I will tell you moviegoers about another scary movie I went to see this weekend, The Fourth Kind. And I will tell you now, DO NOT go to see this movie. It was terrible. I payed to see something I could have watched on TV. 

 I was walking into the Meet the Artists completely clueless, I have to admit. I had no idea who was performing or what they were going to be doing. So we sat down, there weren't enough seats because we didn't know that we had to rsvp outside from the class but we managed. And then this lady gets up, she had awesome hair, by the way, and she introduces herself as Khadijah Queene and begins to read. She had a very soft voice that sort of flowed over her poems. The piece that stood out to me the most from her was a poem that she said was new and unusual for her.
