When one of my fellow seniors stated that he planned on making a hip-hop musical as his senior thesis project I immediately knew that this was one project I definitely wanted to be part of, if only to say I was there to see it happen. Several times I was convinced we were going to get ourselves arrested --dangling cameras out of cars while on the highway and lighting backpacks on fire at night come to mind-- but in the end it was a very interesting project to be part of.
