Undie run
Sylvia, Brigid and I are just full of plans.
It's not just that we're having a nice nd of quarter dinner tomorrow night with oreo milkshakes as desert. It's not even that we're planning to celebrate Sinterklaas' half-birthday on the 5th of June. But now, it seems we're going to order panties with "Godverdomme" on the ass on Neighbourhoodies and participate in the undie run at the end of spring quarter.
Oh well. At least it will be warmer then. Maximó sure looked cold ("damn, it's so cold my nipples are hard"), although Willem (and many others) seemed to have imbibed enough alcohol not to care about the freezing wind. Or about wearing the most ridiculous outfits. Or about basically the entire concept of taking off most of your clothes, shout a lot, and run though the streets.
But it was fun! So much fun, to see in any case. There must have been more than 2oo people in their underwear (or in diapers, beerboxes, capes), counting down to midnight and then running down Landfair. And there were certainly about 200 more spectators, hoping to catch a glimpse of a nipple with their digital camera's (Mads had a big grin on his face as he showed us the results), or just marveling at how wonderfully funny crazy customs can be.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering? Pictures should be up soon, as soon as I get them from Brigid, Sylvia and Mads actually (I did not, unfortunately, have my own camera with me, but it's not that good with low light conditions anyway).
Anything else to report aside from undie run? Well, not really, aside from the little fact that...I'm DONE!
Almost, in any case. For Physics I need to grade all the papers and presentations (everyone has to), which mostly means reading through a big packet of physics gibberish. Luckily it's pretty interesting gibberish. My presentation seemed to go well in any case, that is, if I can trust the guy who came up to me afterwards saying I was one of the few people who seemed to know what they were talking about (just shows how well I can bluff).
It's late, and despite the fact that I'm done, I have to get up early in the morning (waxing. *yikes*). So, to bed with me!
Cheers,
Hedwig

Dit was waarschijnlijk je laatste post voor Mexico. Veelplezier. Trouwens ik heb hier die colormeter besteld. Woernsdag via internet betseld. Vrijdag al in huis en sinds zaterdag in gebruik. Volgens mij werkt internet aankopen beter in Europa. Ik probeer de n.l. ook bij amazon wat te kopen. Lange delivery tijden, gedonder met de betaalwijze, etc.
ok.Groejes Jaap.
