SarahNannie: St. Patrick's Day, etc...

Well after hounding me enough for a new post, here it is. The Elders concert was fun, lots of old people except my friend Anna and I. The Elders were definitely better than the band after them, Prepare the Haggis or something? Not sure, but nobody stayed for them anyway. Other than that last week was normal until the weekend. Ireland played England in rugby and we lost which is pretty bad, I think we're in fourth in the six nations league now. But Wales beat France, and we like Wales more than anyone else so that was good. That was saturday and then monday was St. Patrick's Day.

The holiday here wasn't too eventful, but I tried. Anna and I went to the parade at noon. It was mostly kids and their parents and then a lot of tourists. We got bored of that pretty fast so we went to Doyles which is the Trinity University bar. Hung around there until our Irish friends came into town and from then until about 2 in the morning it was a series of bars and cabs and drinking. I will say I woke up that day hoping for Irish breakfast but that didn't happen, I think I ate pasta instead? Who knows but it wasn't the same. I kind of got that for the Irish it was a day off kind of like Memorial Day is to the US but with all the tourists in town it makes it a lot more rowdy. But that was St. Patrick's day in all its glory.

Lucky for me I've had this week off for Reading Week plus I have monday off because of Easter Monday. Unfortunately for me, all my essays are going to be due in a little over a month so I've actually been using my time off to sleep and read. Good Friday is tomorrow so all the pubs close early so I can't even try to go out. Oh well, its probably for the best. I haven't been taking any pictures because I haven't been doing anything. Plus its been raining here more than usual, thus its too bleak to even want to take pictures. But here are a few of my friends and what not...
