St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Patty's day everyone! HAHA i got to celebrate a day before all you. Well, im not sure if ive mentioned the university of Auckland's nonchalant additude about drinking on campus. Well, they really dont give a crap. There are 3 bars on campus, Shadows is the bar everyone goes to, and a few weeks ago the Drinking Club (yes, a university acknowledged club) had the beer olympics in the quad. Since the drinking age is 18 here, it is much more open because its not such a big deal once you get to Uni. Anyway, the drinking club sponsered a St. Patty's day school appreciation Sausage sizzle on the quad with free Tui (the kind of beer drank most here), so at noon, Summer and i went to school to drink. Neither of us have classes on thursdays. So we got our drink then went into Albert Part (where the lantern festival was a few weeks ago) and hung out. After that i took her to the Domain because she hadn't been yet, where we played on a tree like children for about 45 minutes, just this one tree...for 45 minutes, it was awesome. We realized how close the edge of the domain was to Parnell (that area like Beacon hill) so we walked there and got a late lunch/early dinner at this fantastic place called Non Solo Pizza we shared a pizza and each had a glass of wine. Then we went to a chocolate boutique and had dessert. Also, amazing. When we got back to the railway we ran into our friends Alexandra and Jesse who had all the mixings for an irish car bomb party, well it was St. Patty's day, how could we not. For those of you who dont know, an irish car bomb is when you take a glass of Guinniss and drop a shot glass of baileys irish cream and irish wisky into it and chug down the entire thing before the Baileys curdles in the guinness. you have to do it fast becasue the Bailey's gets gross pretty quickly. So that was fun, then I did some laundry. Good times for St. Patty's day. Wierd being in another country with fewer south bostonians clinging to their 1/16 Irish background, but funnier when Kiwi's try to pull it off.

ST. Patty's Day!
