Green Beer Day 2008

I could not possibly be more bored right now. I’m in geology 111, “Rocks for Jocks” and I have to skip Green Beer Day because I’m flying home tonight and apparently air ports do not look kindly to drunk college students trying to board planes via the baggage claim.

For those that don’t know, Green Beer Day is MU Ohio’s bitch slap to the university for scheduling spring break over St. Patrick’s Day. They think that if no one is in school on this day, then kids will be less likely to drink. What do we do? Create a drinking holiday of our own.

Every year, GBD is the thrusday before spring break. It starts at 5:30am thrusday morning and ends at 5:30am friday morning. Yes, a full 24 hours of drinking.

Everyone skips class, wears a green shirt, and drinks green beer. It’s a campus wide shit show.

Professors, having learned of of long tradition, have been told to schedule tests today and tomorrow. Most just cancel class, or tell us not to come unless we are sober enough to sit still and be quiet. I got extra credit for coming to class. Excellent.

But I’d much rather be drinking beer. Green Beer.

Sadly, this year I have to head home early because there is a $300 difference between the plane ticket home today and the ticket for tomorrow. So I have to sit here in class, next to a guy who smells very pungently of beer and is sporting a VERY green tongue, wishing I was not sober.

Luckily, My parents felt sorry for me and agreed to celebrate with me tonight. We’re going to play a mad game of “pass out” and maybe some drunk pool.

Drink Strong, my friends, Drink Strong.
