Confession

I have a cold. It bites. Oh it bites so hard. It's like in the 80's outside and I have an annoying blasted snot nosed cold. It makes me grumpy. It makes me irritated and irritating. And, unfortunately, it leads me to a rant.

I say it leads me to a rant because I really do like the people here...I really do! But there is one glaring problem.

They are kids.

Seriously...kids.

I am the oldest student I know of here. And the youngest student I've met so far turned 17 only 2 weeks ago (I'm 31 for reference). Next oldest I know is 25.

And these kids...they want to party. They want to party like MAD.

Now of course when I went to college the first time...I did too. Hell, I partied HARD at times (too hard *cough*). But I really don't want to right now. Sure...I wanna go out and have fun. I want to hang out and drink beers. But...get this...the school arranged for a free taxi-bus-thingie to take students up to the "bigger" village every Friday and Saturday night...which brings them home at 4 am.

4 am.

Every Friday and Saturday night.

Arranged by the school.

The "fast food" restaurant...from 8:30-10:30...every night...gives you a free beer with any food order.

A free beer...from the school.

The kid turned 17 two weeks ago.

Thankfully I've made some good friends already...some guys from my classes, my neighbor...and they aren't the wild and crazy type.

However...

If one more person asks me if "dude, did you get wasted last night? Wanna get wasted tonight?" I'm going to stick my finger in his or her eye.

So folks...I apologize for my weak posting recently. I'm sick. I don't want to party right now.

And...even thought I just ranted about this...someone very famous said...

The kids are alright.

But I can't wait to interview them when I am running my resturant ;)
