It is just too easy to sit on the couch and stare at the television, slowly but surely turning into a zombie. This is why I plan on engrossing myself in the arts and entertainment this semester. We are lucky enough to live in a city where there is always something to do. Many of us have lived here our whole lives and unfortunately do not take advantage of what this amazing city has to offer. In fact, I can’t recall ever going to the Empire State Building; I know, blasphemy. Nevertheless, there are also many other places not well known to us that I plan on showcasing this semester. Now, I wish I could give you examples or a roadmap of where I’m going to lead you but to be honest I have no idea, perhaps that’s the exciting part. Its always thrilling finding little gems tucked away in small little streets like bars in alphabet city, weird museums scattered around the five boroughs, or a restaurant that has the best lobster mac and cheese you’d ever taste.
With the vast amount of galleries, museums, shows, restaurants, bars, and other activities I have yet to uncover, I think this beat is one that anyone would want to cover. Perhaps I am being a little broad in my pick and might encounter some issues. For instance, how to pick something specific to cover, but for the time being I am excited to tackle the task.
I think most of us are still a little unsure as to what exactly to expect from this class. However, we can not forget that we are all in a great position to find sources, what better place to find them than in our class where stories will overflow from one beat to the next. Hopefully we’ll have fun; when we are done with our studies of course.
