Lucky Day

St. Patrick's day was one of the things I have been waiting for since I got here. Already in January everyone was talking about it. I met a young Irish guy few months ago and he said the St. Paddy celebrations in Guelph are even bigger than in Ireland. Well, haven't been in Ireland yet but at least here they knew how to have good time and celebrate all things green. 

 Some of our friends started drinking already ten in the morning. I needed to hand in a paper in my class so I couldn't start that early but joined the gang around two in the afternoon at a local Irish pub. The sun was shining, there was live music, great people and green beer. To me that sounds like a pretty good recipe for happy day drunk.

 I even made a new friend. Most of the people here don't even know how to pronounce my name but this girl had 3 different Annika's in her phone already. She said she hates them all. Hopefully she will still remember the greatest Annika she ever met tomorrow and we can catch a beer another time too.

Lets wrap it up with some semi random Irish love. It was a happy day here in Guelph, hopefully the good luck will stay with us for the rest of the semester.
