It was difficult to find time to do anything else besides going to school and work but when the question of what museum would I visit for this blog post came up, the answer was clear. Of course I would make a visit to the MET! Now I must say, I did have doubts. The MoMA is right across the street, but it just didn’t feel right to write about any other museum given one post on this topic. After all, it was my essay on my love for the arts and the MET that earned me a spot into my dream college and served as a means to pay for the school I currently attend.
Of course I needed a photographer, so when I found out my mother had never been to the MET, I dragged her with me. And so it was decided. Before work on Friday, I would go to the MET.
Collection of photos taken at the museum:
One of my favorite exhibits was Cristobal de Villalpando’s collection of oil paintings.
so beautiful!
oh.. and ran into a painter while roaming around.
Unfortunately, I had to speed through the museum this time around because I only had an hour before I had to clock in, but as always, it made my day a lot more enjoyable.
On my way back to the train station, I passed by the St. Ignatus Loyola school and saw so many adorable little elementary school kids during recess. GAHHH SO CUTEE~
Since I would not be able to go on break till 7/8, I figured I would grab lunch before starting work so I took my mother to Chipotle with me and she had it for the first time.
hehe She Loved it!! (:
Sleep deprived and not ready to work tomorrow morning, I look back on my day and I must say, going to the MET was totally worth it & for those of you who have never gone, I advise you, DO IT! You won’t regret it!
