Statistically Speaking

While 2009 was one of the most eventful years of my entire life - what with Jon springing this whole Caribbean medical school thing on me, quitting the job I loved, selling most of our possessions and moving to a third world country (not to mention a trip to NYC somewhere there in the mix) - 2010 was by far the most boring. In fact, if it weren't for that blessed Disney World vacation in April to break up the monotony, I may very well have gone crazy.

Now, back on the island for the last time, I'm focusing on embracing this simple lifestyle for these next three months. Because, really, when will I ever have this chance again? NEVER, that's when. Though I'm still finding it hard to dig up feelings of sadness when I think of our time here winding to a close. Probably because this is my second time returning to Statia with the idea that it would be the last, and that well ran dry in September when I abruptly went from feeling nostalgic to realizing we'd be staying for two more terms. Anyway the point is getting away from me. I know I will always look fondly back on this experience, but at the same time I'm more than ready for it to be over. This coming year will bring an end to our time on Statia and a beginning to the next chapter, whatever that may be.

  1. You took the comment right from my fingers-- too bad for all those moms of potential "kaybrees."

    I'm surprised so many hits came through my blog! Nice. They're probably just passing right on through to get to you. Jerks.

  6. Dangit! Sorry, Jake, I confused your two trips and thought you were in AFGHANISTAN last year. They're pretty much the same country in my mind I guess. Also, I'm a terrible person.
