"I Gotta Feeling...

...that tonight's gonna be a good night."

That promising tag line of the catchy tune from the Black Eyed Peas is about the anticipation of something good to soon come. Its subtle brilliance, of course, stems from its ability to mean many different things to many different people. For broke, young New Yorkers, it is a pre-game promise of a good time coming at the hip bars/lounges/clubs they'll hit up for the night. For the African continent, well at least those who can or care to watch, tonight, it signaled the arrival of the World Cup and, perhaps finally, the world's focus and attention. But for me, the lame third year medical student who just finished her first fabulous rotation by taking a horrendous shelf exam and who has a husband trying to complete a dissertation, it means a night of leisurely dinner, of non-medical reading to my heart's content, of falling asleep without the fear of having to wake up to my dreaded alarm. Tonight's gonna be a good night. Wooohooo.
