MET Homework
11/9/18
It was a sudden decision I had to make before the end of the day. The RIIS program was gathering students to go on a trip to the metropolitan museum. Knowing I had to go to one eventually to take pictures, I thought why not kill two birds with one stone? We left to go there at 4 pm. I'm pretty sure it was more then an hour to actually get inside the museum. We took the train to get there and were standing outside for a long time. We weren't exactly sure what caused the hold up but majority of our time was outside. Everyone was soaking and madness spread abroad. When all of that was over, it calmed down a bit. We were allowed to go around and explore the museum on our own, so I stuck to a group of friends I knew well which consisted of Anis, Parneet and Fardin. However, thinking we were to spend the entire time together, we got separated after a short time inside. Since we didn't end up finding each other until the end, you could say the adventure only consisted of me and Fardin. Since the point of going to the museum was to take pictures, that is initially what we did. We took some nice pictures and Fardin had some nice camera angles doing so. We had a great time exploring the huge museum in spite of being separated from Anis and Parneet. It was fun and the craziness was unforgettable.
