back to home

i had these pics from this 2022 summer program at upenn i did sitting in my onedrive taking up space, and i'd rather they be here instead

let's see if i remember enough to give these pics captions

toc:

• views of philly
• fun places they took us over the weekends
• food & friends
• and all the rest

buildings and views of penn

most of these like aren't even that notable, idk what i was on

a pic of central city (at least i think they call it that) on the airport shuttle to the school

pic of the dorm lobby (dining hall underneath)

i didn't know what a college dorm was supposed to look like so i thought this was really bad. oh 2022 kevin, you sweet summer child.

a dinky foundain in the dinky dining hall

this relaxing sidewalk outside the dorm

what? ok 2022 me, this is just a pic of a block in the school??

some picturesque arches that past me found notable i spose

and this panorama with some interesting buildings

they had this MASSIVE building, it's their med stuff?

ok their bookstore is actually nice

I FORGOT THEY HAD ESCALATORS TOO BRUUUUUUHHHH

a whole shelf of manga was there, goated

ig east coast cities have a lot more churches?

our classes were in this building WHICH ALSO HAD ESCALATORS

some random pic of a house, department building, or whatever

the aboveground courtyard outside our lecture hall, very nice

lmao? the frickin', hallway outside our classroom?

yeah penn's greneery is p cool

weekend trips

they took us to hershey park and dc

there was also a philly baseball game that i somewhat recall but for some reason i don't have any photos there

hershey park

outside the park

GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

in their chocolate store there was a place where you could mix and match their candy, and uh:

man if only there was a way to defend my head from peas!
the trusty metal bucket:

yeah, one of the options was a bucket haha.

dc

first have some general pics:

society if it was run by people on the list:

and a pic of me in front of it

a pic of the monument and some building

and just a pic of the monument

then we went to some history museum, idk the name. maybe it was the building in the previous photoset?

me in front of a metal american flag

was this lincoln's top hat? i forgor
looks like a monopoly piece regardless

imperial japanese bayonets, i suppose

a chunk of the berlin wall!

old timey tvs with shows broadcast during the cold war (i think? perhaps it was specifically during only nam?)

pics with people

i got some group photos with people whose names i genuinely can't recall here:

i think this was at some ramen place

and one of my cohort's last outings was to a yogurt place

idk who we got to take these pictures, maybe a waiter? that's the only plausible explanation

on the last lecture, i got pics w/ my goated instructors

angela, my division's TA

and prof. linda zhao, the prof. i even got her to write a rec letter for penn ed, but still got rejected LMFAAAAOOOO
(on a side note wth was i doing with that 👍)

and in the wee hours of the morning, before our bus to the airport, i got this pic with some other kids, one of whom is with me in college!

funnily enough i think the tallest one in this pic was also the youngest

leftovers

i mean they didn't fit in any of the other categories so

here's the ones that i think are funny

someone drew this in the concrete before it set LOL

and whatever the hell this flyer is supposed to be

and here's the ones that are just, notable? idk i just can't bring myself to delete them

i got noodles with a friend one lunch, so that's cool
iirc he also let me play pokemon on his switch :OMEGALUL:

had someone take this pic of me on the day of our project presentations
and apparently i thought it was good enough to post on my insta feed back when i was still on that site
