As it came closer to midnight the anticipation was getting the better of me. Whether it was the yummy drinks, or being with some of the best women friends who had seen me through things that most friends would have ran from, in addition to the culmination of my educational endeavor I was feeling like the whole world was perfect for me that night... the count down was on and I rang in the new year with a smile so big you could have seen it all the way back to Negril.
