St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick’s is noteworthy just because of the number of places I went and people I saw!
The bar on campus is called Shadows – I went down there at 4-ish with Liam and Rachael to meet up with Sean and Duncan. We sat around for a few hours, chatting, taking stupid pictures, drinking beer. Duncan got a free hat for having a Guinness. The beers were served in water pitchers, which I thought was funny.
Then we all went back to our place. The idea was – I think- to get food, but we didn’t want to cook for all three Timlins, so that didn’t happen. Then we realized it was time to go over to Danny’s.
Over to Danny’s – green punch in a bucket. Yup. It was almost all girls, sort of loud pandemonium.
I’d been invited down to 10D (Carl’s - a guy from AustraLearn) so I headed down there with the Timlin boys in tow (their choice not mine). Did I say Danny’s was pandemonium? No. It was like a bomb of people and noise and alcohol in that room! I saw tons of AustraLearn kids, and I think that’s where I saw Tommy too (random). Oddly enough, we found Laura, who happily followed us:
Back up to Danny’s, where I got a text from Abby about going to the Irish pub. I was down for it, and she told me to come -
Up to 13D (Paurakh’s, Brent’s and Chris’s). Timlins and Rachael came with me. Also met another flatmate, Kirk, who is apparently in Kapa Haka with me. The mood was totally different, very laid back and quiet, not as many people, but Abby, Chris and Brent had green dye in their hair and they had the fixings for Irish car bombs (which we of course helped them with) and BRENT HAS GUITAR HERO. Of course I played it! Of course I was awful!
We finally went 0ut to Father Ted’s, but everyone else had the same idea as us, so it was full to the point of there being a line down the street. Walking along we passed Laura again and then most of the people from 10D. Pretty much everyone we knew.
The Timlins were still hungry, so we stopped at Wendy’s (their choice not mine) and then Sean and Duncan decided to take the bus home (since they live with their dad, not in the dorms).
I was tired, so I went home, passing several people I knew on the way, including Carl, who was extremely drunk and told me that I absolutely had to go skydiving, and also Scott, another AustraLearn guy who had lost his ATM card that night. All in all an exhausting night!
