Something weird happened today. After my 2-3:15 class, I walked out onto the Tisch Hall plaza (NYU’s version of a “quad” where students congregate). Anyway, it took a second or two before I noticed, but the students that were out on the plaza were… strange. Let me explain: 1) Many of them I didn’t recognize. 2) They were standing alone and distant from each other. And 3) They weren’t talking, just standing awkwardly.

To write it here, doesn’t fully capture how strange it looked. I thought it was a flash mob that was going to do an ImprovEverywhere-kind of performance. But after I had left to grab my lunch, everything was back to normal and there was no big applause or explanation of what it was.

To say the least, I’m confused and want answers.
