So today we learned that St Patrick's day is a big deal here in East Lansing! The bars opened at 7am and both Mikel and I were missing a lot of students from class today. There seemed to be quite a few people stumbling a little bit around campus and downtown as everyone celebrated St Patrick's day. According to my lifeguard, it's a big deal here because of the green for the holiday and Spartan green but I think it might have a lot to do with the alcohol consumption as well!It probably helped that it was nearly 70 degrees outside for the first time in a long time. After Mikel and I finished teaching out afternoon classes, we decided to drive around and look at all the people partying in their front yards and at restaurants and bars. Here are some of the pictures we took...
This picture below is the Dublin Square bar.... there was already a line outside of people waiting to get in at 4 in the afternoon!
I wonder how many people are going to be on their "A" game at their 8am classes tomorrow...
