The Team Formerly Known as OGI

After the student's research symposium two weeks ago, a group of us students set to work making T-shirts for the Shamrock 5K run. We call ourselves "The Team Formerly Known as OGI." It's sort of a play on the fact that our school is getting eaten up by the med school and will cease to be it's own independent school within the university. While the paints on the shirts was still wet, we put them on and went to Pub Night on campus. Once every one or two months our "school" brings in a keg and some pizza or sandwiched after work on a Friday night. Faculty and students kick back, have a beer or two, eat, and relax a bit. With the unique organization of our "school," most people spend 99.9% of their time in their labs and wouldn't hardly get a chance to socialize without these Pub Nights. This Pub Night was St. Patrick's Day themed. We were given green beads and there was a bagpipe player. It was pretty fun.

Anyway, about 9 of us signed up together to take part in the Shamrock 5K run on March 16th. The run was loads of fun! Lots of people were dressed in St. Patrick's day attire...running in foam Guinness mug suits, or tied to 5 other people dressed as beer bottles in 6 pack. The Team Formerly Known as OGI will run again soon. We have a few upcoming races on our docket. We'll have to make some non-specific team shirts soon.
