For Starters (A Little Exposition)

Hey all!

Report cards and SAT scores are finally in, and I can finally say, it's officially summer. But, I suppose that doesn't really mean much since my summer is not one typical to your average high schooler.

For those who don't know what my summer schedule looks like, I'll give a brief overview. I attend Cooper Union's 6-Week Summer Outreach Program and, I'm not going to lie, it's pretty stressful (this was our first week). We meet about four times a week, and each day is a different class. They all start at 9AM everyday, and they end at 3PM, with the exception of my courses on Tuesdays, which end at 4PM.

On Mondays, we have 3D Design with Adriana. On Tuesdays, we have Art Issues with Stephanie Hightower in the morning, and Creative Writing with Dave Johnson in the afternoon. On Wednesdays, we have 2D Design with Ania Soloman (I initially wanted Cara Di Eduardo, who is, by far, the best art instructor I've had, but I've taken her 2D class before so I couldn't have her again). And finally, on Thursdays, we have Drawing with John.

These classes are all a whole lot of work, but so far I've been enjoying myself. The area around Cooper is pretty killer with neat trendy places and quirky little eateries to chillax in. Plus, as lame and bizarre as this may sound, I get to spend more time with my mother which I seldom get to do when I'm in school (I know, I'm a big dork).

Anyways, this blog, at least for these upcoming six weeks, will be documenting my daily outings around St. Marks and the rest of the city. And afterwards? I'm not quite sure yet, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.




Thanks for Reading,
Cody
