Hey Hey Hey Day Part 2

Okay... so I didn't finish letting you all in on the Hey Day secret. Why on earth was this days one of the best at penn? (Aside from the fact I got a little bit intoxicated...) After the picninc cam to an end, we had danced and taken many many photos, the Penn marching band assembled and began to play, rounding up all the juniors and leading them in a procession across the campus.



Now, we walked across the Quad, waved our canes, and braved the walk... We had some idea of what was ahead of us, and we dressed appropriately... I took off my watch and jewellery, and wore my worst clothes... The guy in the yellow hazardous-material suit took it to the next level...
Even Ben Franklin got into the action!




























And then came the mess. A tradition in this hazing process was the juniors' 'gifts' from the seniors - in the form of thrown shaving cream, eggs, flour, mustard, bbq sauce, ketchup, and in some cases fish sauce hurled at us... Since I was armed with my disposable camera, I could take some really great shots of our initiation...

you didn't want to get wet? What? That's crazy!

The best thing about getting dirty is having a nice long HOT shower....ahhh...

gotta love the lack of water restrictions here - now I know I should feel bad about wasting American water, as water is the same all over the world.... but somehow this hey day mess required at least half an hour under the shower rose! Oops!
