A day in Philly, and a night of Walloween

Today I took a walk through Center City with a friend to get my Halloween costume. It was raining outside, and although I got a little wet, I couldn’t help but think about how cool Philadelphia is. Rain or shine – this place has so much to do. Tonight, for example, I’m heading to this club called Fusion on Second Street for a GAPSA Halloween event. Even though I spend a large chunk of my time studying and working, I can always count on GAPSA to host a social event that allows me to escape for awhile. I won’t describe my costume here, but I will say that it has a cape. Yes, a cape. And no, I’m not Superman.
There are also so many great places to eat in Philadelphia, whatever your budget. The pumpkin pancakes at Philly Diner on 39th and Walnut St. are the best thing about Fall, and luckily the Philly Diner is open 24 hours. I might just have to stop there after the Halloween Party tonight.
I only hope that I’m home early enough to wake up early to go to work tomorrow… We’re having an open house, where I will get to meet several prospective students. If you’re interested in the Graduate School of Education, please consider attending one of these events if you are in the Philadelphia area. We also host recruiting events at other cities, but nothing can compare to getting the experience of visiting Penn in person.
