Phew! It's Just St. Patrick's Day!

It took me awhile to realize what day it was today...

I rushed out of the McKay Building at the conclusion of my 7 am class on my way to work. It was still early and my class was fairly unsuccessful at waking me up so I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to decipher what I was about to see. As I was walking down the stairs with my clonky Doc Martins, I watched as Peter Pan swiftly flew up the stairs next to me. I wondered what he was doing here and how he was able to manage wearing green tights on such warm morning. I then began to fear that BYU was being infested with “look-at-me-emo’s” but then I realized...

Phew! It’s just St. Patrick’s Day!

Later on in the day I was on my great campus again when I spotted I sight I didn’t anticipate seeing for at least another month and a half. There was a girl wearing a bright-green polo perched on a curb as if to direct pedestrian traffic. EFY! Ahhh! Before I was able to divert my path in another direction, my eyes began to focus and I realized that she didn’t have the signature name badge that has come to characterize our beloved EFY counselors. I realized that her choice of wardrobe color wasn’t a result of overprotective parents who worried about their child’s spiritual well-being. I thought to myself...

Phew! It’s just St. Patrick’s Day!

Later, I settled myself down in my apartment to enjoy a good bowl of Frosted Flakes for dinner. As I poured the milk over my appetizing dinner, I noticed a faint greenish tint to my milk. I looked at the date on the carton: 25 February 2009. As I took my first big bite of cereal, I said to myself...

Phew! It’s just St. Patrick’s Day!
