New Orleans

So, the only benefit of living in Greater New Orleans and not the city is because we had a big house that was just built, and we lived next to my junior hi and high school.  We were only across the lake from the city.  We live in Orlando now, and I know Orlando is pretty big.  Our house is spacey and in a way simple.  So was the one in New Orleans.  Dade County is called Miami, now, as well, and when referred to county called Miami-Dade.  I'm from Fort Lauderdale, and there are names for all the little beaches we lived in.

I wanted to move to the city.  I was happy I went to a public high school.  My first year there there was a boy who transferred when his best friend died, but he was from New Orleans.  I had a good organ teacher when I was 16, and she was also from New Orleans.  My talented arts teachers were from New Orleans.  I don't like how only people in a certain branch of NYC or whatever are worth it.

I remember when I was 10 and my dad got home I'd say, "Oh no," because I didn't feel ready.  Also, we had to wait for him to eat, and it started to affect me, but my mom takes good care of me.  New Orleans is big.  I think it would have been nice.  I wondered why they said we were moving there then that we're not moving to the city.  They thought there would be a lot of kids moving in then, but there weren't.  The only reason I liked the schools was because the jr. high was connected to the church which I still went to in high school, and I met a boy from New Orleans.  After my first year, I started meeting the people from New Orleans.  I went to school on Saint Charles Ave. by Broadway.  Broadway is further a few blocks and hosts the politics school.  I wonder if it's hard to get a job as a teacher there.  I watched an interview of someone who wanted to be a philosophy teacher there.

So, I don't know if there's a reason we didn't move to New Orleans other than that it was better to live nearby.  There are a lot of nice people who live further from the city.  We were literally across the coast at the bridge like.  My dad worked in New Orleans.  In Florida, he had a bigger room to work in.  Here, he had a cubicle and his job advanced.  He got a good job here in Orlando now.

So, my dad used to always say his kids were perfect or whatever to make us feel good.  I often brushed over the idea of what people in the city of New Orleans were like.  I sure hope it isn't because I said, "Oh no," when he got home that we didn't move to the city.  Also, they stopped building the gym.  The school I went to was the only Catholic one open in the whole area.  It was too good of a setup.

It would be funny if I didn't say, "Oh no," when we got home because they used to get mad at me for being snooty and I didn't know where it came from but I got in trouble.  They started to feel sorry for me after awhile.  So, they don't say that about me now, but if something comes up my dad has something to say.
