2007 has come to a close and 2008 is here with endless possibilities and plenty of new opportunities on the horizon. I celebrated the chiming of Big Ben in West Lynn with Amy, Gemma and Chris - not to mention Amy and Jane's families. Brilliant. The interesting thing about this year is that I will be spending the whole of 2008 based in the UK. I should be going back to oHIo for a week or so in the summer for holiday, but 2008 is really all about living it up in jolly ol' England.
So what are my plans, you ask? I've never been one for New Years Resolutions - I prefer goals. Goals are solid. You write them down and it becomes something you expect to accomplish. So here is what I expect to accomplish in the year 2008.
1. Learn how to drive....manual....and on the left side of the road.
2. Obtain a UK drivers license. It might mean forfeiting my oHIo license, but I think that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
3. Optimism. Being a teacher is stressful work. I think I rock at it. Now I'd like to rock at it and maintain my sanity at the same time.
4. Operation M&M. Enough Said.
5. World Domination. My ultimate goal in life. And no, the Beckhams are NOT beating me - I am far more favorable.
I will update you on the status of these and more goals.
Bring it on, 2008!
