see Cezanne, but there were many paintings of other artist which were inspired by Cezanne’s work. It was George Braque’s and Picasso’s cubism and even some minimalist paintings from contemporary artists. I was surprised by how different people are inspired in so many distinct ways and they all work in conveying a particular message. After seeing that special exhibition, I also took the time to see other parts of the museum I had not before. I absolutely loved the European and Contemporary Art wings, and regret not having taken the time to go there before. Oh! and when I was going into the museum they told me students have free admission, so that’s something to keep in mind!

Also, this weekend was all about moving all my stuff out of my apartment and taking it to my aunt’s house in New Jersey. Then, I had to come back to PhilaU the next day so I could study some more for my final test of the semester. So, this time I’m showing you some photos so that you can see what happens when I’m switching trains for four hours and neither my Ipod or cell phone have battery and meanwhile I’m writing this!

Finally, the semester is coming to an end in the next couple of days and therefore this will be my last journal entry. I hope that in one way or another, my weekly experiences and thoughts have been beneficial in understanding the simple (perhaps even boring) life of a Dominican student in PhilaU. During my time here in the US and Philadelphia University, I’ve come to realize that life is really what you make it and we are truly happy whenever we come to terms with reality and decide to accept things as they are. This time next year I will be graduating and stepping into “the real world,” so I’m not exactly sure what’ll happen this summer, but this following months will definitely be about learning new graphic design software, researching companies and looking out for inspiration… it will be the time to educate myself in the hopes of accomplishing more conceptual designs during my senior year.

Have an amazing summer!
