Phillies World Series Champions Parade day

Geebus, has it been less than a week since last Friday?!?! It seems like a long time. I had my last exam on Monday morning and the Sunday night before I went a little nuts. It was part panic and part exhaustion from a full-on non-stop thinking parade since the previous weekend. Physio was by far the hardest exam, we've got questions with multiple correct answers, only language separates the correct and incorrect. Yep, there were many of us that day who erased first choices, picked a second choice, reerased, repicked the first choice, then reerased again and repicked another choice. It was pretty bad.

Anyway, I got to the above thinking because I was trying to remember when the Phillies World Champions parade was, last friday or the friday before last. So it was last friday. Here are pics...it was a little NUTS.

The colored the Love Park fountain green for the Phillies Phanatic. Posing in front of LOVE and the fountain....there was a line to pose there, yes it was that crowded!

Hey wheres the O?
mmm green water, that can't be healthy.

Phillies Phreak

By the way, these were taken after a microanatomy practical and written exam...kinda relieved after finishing 2 exams so far. One more to go!

The parade route was PACKED! We tried to get to the edge of the street, at some point it became a solid wall of people. And people behind us were still pushing for us to move forward, it was crushing! People are so pushy, maybe they thought we just liked casually holding up the line eh?


That glass thing people are standing on, it covers escalators that go down to the subway. I don't think it was designed to hold that many Phans??!?!

People were at the top of the towers of city hall and on the ledges outside of the windows on the upper floors.

More pretty bikes, the bike messenger brigade did the smart thing and stayed the heck away from all the commotion a few blocks away!

People got hurt, some guy pulled a machete on some people who were standing on his car. The guy turned out to be manning a food stand and while he was wielding his mighty machete, people were looting his stand. It was pretty sad...and all this happened under a "Pledge to do no Violence" banner. This guy seemed really hurt, I don't know why. There was a mom who lost two of her kids! So sad, hope she found them.


There was a streeker on top of the glass cover thing.

The Wolfman visited us not with infectious bites from his sharp teeth but with sweet sweet candy from Rite Aid while we were studying. Yep we all spent Halloween studying...it sucked so bad. You could smell the fun in the air...but we were stuck in the library studying our butts off for the hardest exam yet.
Super boring physio review.
