Today I had my first meeting with Cooper Union Students. It was fun. Didn't meet any art students, only Engineer students, they really were sweet, but so young! They were all 18 and 19 years old. All freshmen. I'm seriously going to be the oldest student at school, Grandpa A. We went on a complementary cruise around the southern parts of Manhattan. We got to see the Statue of liberty and the new Olafur Eliasson installation "Waterfall".
There was a DJ on board the boat, playing all kinds of silly hits (inc. Rednex and Macarena!!!). And people were dancing unembarrassed. From a Scandinavian perspective, this was kind of awkward. But it was entertaining and really lightened the atmosphere.
