So apparently I'm still not over my strep because I woke up this morning in complete and utter death. It probably didn't help that I was running around outside in the rain with no shoes or sweater and that my liquid ibuprofen ran out a few days ago. I pretty much don't bother swallowing because it is so painful and swollen. I guess if i want to eat anything today i better go to the health center again and get a new prescription.
Last night was the most hilarious thing of my life: Porter Run. For those of you who are unaware of this most delightful UC Santa Cruz tradition it is where on the first rain of the year anyone who is willing runs from Porter college through multiple other ones while exposing their nether regions to the world. That's right they run completely butt naked.
At around 12:30 Jerry came bursting into our dorm room and announced that it was raining. So the three of us sat in anticipation to wait for any sign that the Porter run was happening. Then we heard in the distance a bunch of cheering so we quickly put on our rain gear and almost as soon as we ran outside our building a stampede of naked boys ran right by. We watched for a while until we though it was over and Marestel and I went back to our rooms. Then just as we had settled into our lofts we heard more cheering. We looked at each other and at the same exact time threw ourselves off our bunks and ran outside just in time to see an even bigger herd of naked boys and even a few girls.This time I was so excited to go and watch that I didn't put any shoes on and didn't bring my key and neither did Marestel, so we had to wait in the rain looking for Jerry.
Once we finally got back inside thanks to some fellow Wiesel residents and Marestel and I were back in bed laughing at all the penises we just saw, this guy Kiaree wondered in to our room completely naked. Thankfully I was completely blind since I had taken out my contacts, but it was still a little disconcerting having a naked guy I barely knew in our bedroom talking to us as if nothing was out of the ordinary. He asked me to take a picture of him and I told him i would if he would just cup himself since I had seen enough penises that night.
Oh Santa Cruz.
P.S. I LOVE my roommates!!
