2005
whilst one could argue that we've had our fair share of hell in 2005 here in new orleans, on this new years eve, i'd like to take a moment to remember some of the great things that have happened in 2005:
1. mardi gras - complete with surviving a very scary 6am cab ride. united cab's phone number will forever be emblazonned (did i just make up that word? i think i did) in my mind.
2. mcat class. specifically, spending st. patrick's day night in class with irish coffee. i don't think caley and i have ever been that giddy. only slightly more giddy that how we were every monday, wednesday, and friday at 10:30am in dr. toth's class.
3. making the committment to go to louies every thursday night. thursday is the new friday, after all.
4. tap class. "hmm catherine, you have the least experience out of anyone in this class. and since this is ADVANCED tap, you might want to think about dropping it" riiiiight, saying that to me only makes me want to stick it out. i may have no talent, but i sure had a hell of a good time making noise.
5. after four years in providence, finding the russian sub museum... and not getting out of the car to touch it.
6. getting a job catching mosquitoes. it will be very hard to top that summer job. i believe i still have my tyvek suit and "backyard safari bug vacuum" in the back of my car.
7. spending the night at beau rivage - learning craps, being classy, and making friends with the tommy bahama himself. a very swingin' night :)
8. being on a first name basis with the waiter at wintzell's oyster house in fairhope, alabama during "the great evacuation" oysters and beer for everyone!
9. getting the chance to know, love, and learn from two of the best doctors in new orleans. and since i've started wearing scrubs and converse sneakers to work, i will NEVER again have to wear real clothes to work. just scrubs and converse sneakers. in every color. that's fantastic. anyone need a shot?
10. weddings weddings weddings. it's beautiful to see couples who understand the committment they are making to each other and the SACRAMENT in which they are partaking.
11. old friends, new friends, and those people that have been right in front of me for a while now.
12. going through hell and still coming out on the other side. (much like dante, no?) being able to say that i was THERE the night rock n bowl, pat o's, GALATOIRE'S all opened. no one else in the country has the opportunity to say that.
wishing you love, inspiration, happiness, jazz, and a stronger levee system in 2006. cheers.
"... and the lights will guide you home"
