I think yesterday was the first time i've ever been to the MOMA. I remember when I was younger, I visited it like once, but maybe I was mistaken because I don't remember it at all! I walked into the museum and it was a whole new environment to me.  It was quite a fascinating scene because I have never seen that many pieces of art in one area. The Les Demoiselles D’Avignon was a lot bigger than I anticipated. I searched up the photo online, but it's nothing compared to the one in real life.

To say the truth, the Alexander String Quartet was nothing special to me. It was just another musical performance that I went to go see. Throughout my life, I have been going to many musical concerts, especially strings. I played violin in elementary, middle and high school. I know exactly what is going on during the concerts and I can really relate to the way that each piece if being played. Despite my incapability of playing as well as them, the concept remains the same. Aside from the negativity, I do have some positive things to say about the concert.

The Quartet was a unique and well performed show. Before I walked into the building, I honestly had no idea what to expect. As I walked into the building, there were many stairs that I had to walk up in order to get to my seats which were located at the very top. It was nothing that i've ever seen before. The seats were so high off the ground that my feet couldn't even touch the floor! Also, the way the seats were set up felt almost as if you were going to fall off. It was quite a unique set up I must say.

 I'd have to say that my visit to Carnegie Hall (for the first time) was quite bizarre. As I approached Carnegie Hall with a bunch of classmates, we came upon multiple entrances. To our surprise, none of these entrances were the right ones. It took us about 10 minutes to figure out where to go and eventually, we met with Jeremy Geffen, the organizer of performances that take place in Carnegie Hall. I wasn't really interested in what he was telling me because I felt as if he wasn't really telling me much.

On Thursday, October 22nd 2009, I went to my first ever reading. As I was told about the event by Professor Bergman, I had no idea what kind of event I was going to. As I entered the room filled with other Macaulay students and Baruch faculty members, I still remained clueless. However, as Joseph O'Connor took the stand after a bunch of introductions, I realized where I was, at a reading. Honestly, I had no idea who this guy was because I have never heard of any of his books nor writings. However, I'd have to say that I was quite bored with the reading.
