Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy's Day or simply Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.

The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat. In Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States, and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.

today is st.patrick's day, beers and parties celebrations. it reminds me of first year, when i just came to Western. i guess, that was the happiest time in my life. although it doesn't last long, although i didn't want to mention or think about it again, but i can't really deny the fact.

i met a girl, international student from China last night. she is in the first year, just came to Canada not long ago. seeing her, seem like seeing myself two years ago. quite, shy.. i wish i could still be like that. i was all protected and being taken care of, but just not anymore. doesn't matter how much i don't want to, i don't have an option. everyone has to grow up, and when you grow up, you should act like a grown up.

i am lack of sleep. three hours of sleep within 40 hours is not enough. now i am working the accounting report with my group. we are only on the introduction, which means there is a long way to go. <-- it is not relevant at all. no one cares, i just feel bad for myself.
