Back in St. John's

21st October, 2011

Today I had a fairly quiet day. Because I had to take a bus to St. John's University, I wasn't able to do too much. I slept in, had an early dinner, packed and headed into Minneapolis to catch the bus to St. Cloud. Jefferson Bus was late again (but only by a few minutes). I met Eric at St. Cloud and he gave me a ride to St. John's. I dropped my stuff in his room and we went to St. Joe (where the College of St. Benedict is) to go to a bar and meet Matt, Mattie, Chelsea and Hannah. We had 2 pitchers of a Belgian beer called Fat Tire. It was pretty good. We then returned to the infamous Sal's bar (that's where all the cool kids go). We headed back relatively early and played some computer games with Eric's housemates. A funny story from the night was a man who saw my Irish-looking paddy cap (even though it is an Italian hat) asked me am I Irish. He proceeded to tell me that he knows a guy called Patrick O'Neill who says "for definite" all the time and was wondering if I say the same. Another randomer shouted "Nice hat" to me and then high fived me.

The photo above was taken in Eric's room. I noticed the Cork flag as soon as I walked in.
