The Final Meeting

Expect the posts this week to use the words "last" and "final" a lot.
On Tuesday, the group trekked out to Brooklyn to eat dinner at Susan's house and have the final hurrah of the term with the professors.
Susan lived in an area of Brooklyn that seemed more town than city. The streets were lined with old Victorian houses and small yards. There was actually SPACE between the houses. It was nice to see that not all of NYC is surrounded by concrete.

Susan had made delicious turkey chili and cornbread. Murray, Kathy, and Alan were all there and it was a fun time. The group just hung out, chatted, reminisced on the bests of the term, and discussed the future. Everyone was in a good mood.

We also presented our final projects after dinner. Susan had us complete two projects, both focused on the eight plays we saw from January to now. The first was a monologue based off one of the many characters we saw and the second was a creative project of our choice. It was interesting to see everyone perform their monologue and present their project; it was clear to us what plays effected our peers the most.

Amy emceed the event and we ended our "show" with a rendition of a few songs from Carmen on her trombone. Even though it was late, Susan couldn't let us leave without dessert. So gelato it was!

As the group left Susan's house, we suddenly were brought back to the first Saturday of the term. We had spent a long night at Kathy's studio, getting to know the professors and wondering what the term would hold for us. Needless to say, I think the term has transformed all of us and we are better people because we were in New York City, on this term, with each other.
