Happy new year

New Years Eve Reflections: Over the last year, did things go pretty much as you'd expected or planned, or did your life take a significant, unexpected turn? Overall, was it a good year or one that you want to put behind you as fast as you can?

What to say about 2005. It was mediocre for me. Work was...well, work. Carter left, and I can't say i saw that coming. He was good to me, even though I acted like a jerk when I was around him, trying to show him up and all. Susan wanted me to go for Chief Resident, but I turned her down. Sometimes I catch myself thinking about whether or not things would be different if i took the job. Guess we'll never know. My residency's over soon, and I'm gonna have to figure out what i want to do.

I met my father. After years of waiting, and wondering, I finally met the bastard. I wasn't surprised to see that he moved on, and had a family of his own. I couldn't forgive him, I just couldn't do it. he kept trying to reach out to me, and all the while, I thought, why now? Where was all this when my mom died and it was just me and Leon? Good riddance.

I stood in the middle of a plane wreck. Now that was something. It's extraordinary being in the middle of so much chaos. It was also pretty gut wrenching yelling into that radio hoping to hear something from Neela. Scared the shit out of me, really. Then there was a man in there, that we kept alive with CPR. He was awake the whole time. It's not something we see to often. At least we were able to find his family, and he got a chance to say goodbye.

Damn, this year kinda sucked. Yeah, I wouldn't mind putting it behind me. Here's to 2006, hopefully the better year
