I actually celebrated St. Patty's Day yesterday, by attending a little celebration put on by the Lebanon Arts Council. A friend of mine heard about it from one of the people who works in the library. It was not what we expected, but I'm glad we went. We thought that there were going to be more people there, but it turns out there were probably only 20-40 or so. We had some tea, sang some songs (they gave us lyrics), and enjoyed some of the art work. The most interesting part was the librarian had some art work of his own upstairs. He took us up there to show it to us. He did most of the pieces during his year in Italy on a Rhodes Scholarship. A few of his pieces went along with an Irish poem and a folktale. He told us a few of the stories, which made his art make sense. I found it fascinating to see this side of his life. It's easy to forget and get caught up in this medical school world. All of these people I interact with everyday in the hospital have completely different lives away from this building - my classmates included. For me it was a nice reminder of the outside world.
Today I celebrate St. Patty's Day, by wearing my $1 green clover socks from Target and studying. Time to play catch up after a busy busy week!

Just looking for a picture w/ some green in it! Here's some green beans for ya!
