St. Patty's Day

I did not realize St. Patrick's Day was such a huge event until I started university. For the past two weeks, I have seen countless advertisements for green beer - which I still haven't tried! - and various parties at local pubs. I think it may be the biggest 'drinking' day of the year - I rode the elevator with two very drunk guys at 33o this afternoon. I don't think people drink that early even for New Years!!

Last year, when I was living with the other roommates, one had a bunch of her friends crash at our place after drinking at the campus bar. I agreed to let her friends over on the condition that they would NOT puke/make a mess, but just pass out on the couch (classy, I know). But 'lo and behold, a friend of hers had one too many and proceeded to vomit ALLLLLL over the floor in front of our shared bathroom-sink area. Twice. Although I am a nursing student and supposed to love blood & guts and caring for the sick, I did NOT clean up her drunk-puke in my apartment, but instead made my roommate scrub the floor until it shined. I was straight-up mad. Oh dear... I am not very good at being a typical 'college student'!

But PTL for a change of scenery this year - a long weekend at home and already in my pajamas.

Cheers!
