Island Med Student

This past weekend was my first one on the island where all of the upperclasspeople were also around. As I walked home from the library on Friday at around 9:00, I had the feeling of living on a college campus. I’ve never actually lived on a college campus, because I had an apartment during college, but I’ve been on them before. It was very very very strange. Apparently, there were two parties going on, and there were tons of people everywhere who were obviously drinking. As I sat outside and watched the drunkeness unfolding, my nextdoor neighbor found me and invited me to one of the parties. I said that I might come, but I knew that I wouldn’t. After he left, I realized that I had absolutely no desire to hang out with a bunch of twenty something college kids while getting wasted on cheap rum and Kubuli (the local beer).

Not only did I not want to go drinking with them, but I realized that I didn’t want to hang out with them at all. Instead of going out on Friday night, I ended up staying home and studying for a while. Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not a studyholic, or at least I don’t think I am yet. I do other things besides study. But on Friday night, while everyone else was getting obliterated, I stayed home and reviewed gross anatomy.

After Friday night, I realized that I might be becoming uncool uncool uncool. Let me explain. For a while, it was uncool to be uncool. But then, “uncool” suddenly became in vogue, so that if you were uncool, you were actually cool. This always bothered me because I rather enjoyed being uncool, and I didn’t want to be fashionable. So, I strove to be uncool uncool, which separated me from my uncool peers. Eventually, though, uncool uncool became cool, so I was cool again.

However, I have good news! Judging by all of the recent happenings, I’m pretty sure that I am now uncool uncool uncool. And the awesome thing is that uncool uncool uncool is currently not cool!

Oh yes, and check out this picture of my neighbor’s ghost goat. He’s just “uncool.”
