St. Pattys Day!


Wednesday was Saint Patrick's Day. One of my personal favorite (or I guess "favourite" in Aussie) holidays. Everyone always has a great time on St. Patty's Day.

Luckily, I didn't have class and neither did some of my friends. Lauren, Scott, Timmy, Tommy and I and our next door neighbors Morgan and Kelly, went down to Surfers Paradise around noon. Our goal for the day was to hit all of the Irish pubs in Surfers. There are four main ones: Fiddlers, Waxies, Kitty O'Sheas, and O'Malleys. O'Malley's has been a hotspot for our nights out so we knew we wanted to end the day there. We first stopped at Fiddler's Tavern. We danced and had a great time all while celebrating dear ol' St. Pat. Then we walked over to Waxies which was a really fun place and we ate 'chips' (french fries). We checked out Kitty O'Sheas but it was rather boring so we went back to Fiddler's before ending at O'Malleys. I had an amazing time and a bunch of our friends came down around 3 after they were done with classes. It was a really fun time and I enjoyed spending the day with all my new friends!

My brother, Rick, flew in to Brisbane early this morning and took a train and a bus down to the Gold Coast. I showed him around my apartment complex and he saw a little bit of my campus. It was a gorgeous day so we took the bus down to Surfer's Paradise and laid on the beach. I'm so glad that he gets to be a part of a little bit of my entire experience. I know he's going to love this place and I can't wait to show him more!
