DonateOn a cold Sunday in a nondescript Huntsman Hall classroom, two Penn students begin a long afternoon.
8:31 p.m.: I arrive at my flight’s gate frazzled from the stresses of getting through security, lugging two bags definitely much larger than your standard “one carry–on bag and one personal item.” (Sorry I’m not sorry.) I immediately spot a class of 2010 Brazilian Scene-ster to whom I’m relatively well acquainted — I’d say “Hello” if we bumped into each other on Locust, why not Hartsfield Jackson International Airport? 8:36 p.m: I plop down on the facing bench and start the small talk.
11:32 p.m.: Arrive at Beta off–campus house. I’m thinking this is a pit stop to appease my friends before we head to Smoke’s for the night. 11:59 a.m.: Realize we are having fun.
