<p>We weren’t clueless, which makes it even worse. Let’s just say it was one of the longest hours of my life and I was extremely angry for being put in that situation. The streets were almost deserted the entire way back. It’s terrifying that reaching 50th and Market (still a bad area, for anyone unfamiliar with Philly) was a relief, if only because there were people on the streets.</p>
<p>Thank god nothing happened, but all it takes is one bad encounter for everything to go horribly wrong. So, uh, lesson to potential or current Penn kids: don’t walk back to campus from the Mann Center.</p>
