So tired so drunk
October 7, 2006
It’s both a moment of insight and yet a solemn truth that I realized today the person I am in an academic setting is not who I am externally to such an environment. In school, I am nervous, anxious, and generally appear unhappy – 3 personality traits favored by hermits rather than 20-something medical students.
At the bars, I find myself extremely outgoing. In fact, I’m the one whose the life of the party. I am the one dancing, where the rest of the students are not. I get the party started so to speak.
Unfortunately for me, finding a possible common ground between both sets of experiential-based traits is a difficult thing indeed. I don’t see myself being the life of the class in class. Maybe that’s how it should be, or maybe that’s how it has to be for me?
