me, jason, and amaya in the tub station waiting to go to the next pub...

happy st. patrick's day!!!!!!

alright as many of you know last saturday was st. patrick's day. and just because i am over here does not mean that i did not celebrate it...because i did. word on the street is that london is one of the top places to celebrate st. patrick's day, even over dublin or other places in ireland. and i believe it. central london was crazy on saturday. but it was amazing. just the atmosphere where ever you went was happy and buzzing. does that makes sense??? and i am sure that the rugby games that were on (6 nations is still going on) helped too. the first game was scotland v. ireland and the last game was england v. somebody. the point is that saturday was a BIG day! we joined a pub crawl called the monopoly pub crawl (its one of the better known london pub crawls) and we got out gear (shirts, hats, and buttons) and were on our way.

me and one of the three guys that dressed up like leprecon, we switched hats for the picture.

anyways the crawl criss-crossed us across london having us start in whitechapel (yes, were jack the ripper is from) and ended in liecester square. it was a long day and we meet so many cool people. we actually didnt finish cause we ended up bailing and meeting up with the rest of our flatmates who were watching rugby at a pub in liecester...

also one of my flatmates, courtney, and another one of my friends, jenna, were in ireland and came back to london on st. patrick's day so we also met up with...after awhile at least. it took us awhile for us all to get together since there was some direction troubles. but once we all got together... everyone had a really really good time. unfortunately i didnt get to see the fountains in trafalgar square turned green, i was just never over there during the day. not until dark did i actully walk over there...and that was only to catch a bus home.

amaya and i with the leprecon triplets after ireland won their rugby match...dont act like you arent impressed with our sweet hats...nye, martin (who both DIDNT WEAR GREEN), jenna, jason at the final pub of the nightbaz, me, and amaya having a good st. patrick's day. notice that he ALSO did not wear green.

also side notes. tomorrow (or march 21st) i am going to go see equus, the "harry potter" play. should be good i am hoping. also this sunday (if all goes right) i am gonna go see dolly parton perform. should be good. and the best part is that my break is coming up!!! yes that means i basically have a month off of school to go travel around... and i am going to!!! the plan is to go to norway for about 4 days then come back to london to see my dad who is gonna be here for about a day and a half. then on easter i pack and head out to rome, athens, and the greek isles for about 10 days. i am really really really really really excited. but then again who wouldnt be???? it is too bad though because i was gonna try and plan it so i could be in rome when sarah, mike, the kids, along with nana and papa are gonna be there...but the timing didnt quite work out. bummer.

anyways so that is a look into my life and i am sure you will be hearing from me soon....until then my people...
