Into '08

A shameless copy from my previous blog (now defunct), I want to get this on the record  as soon as possible.    My 2008 New Year "Aspirations" are: 

• Hopefully get good news from my next MRI scan in Feb/March
• Complete my Diploma of Financial Services (this will be a tall order, as I am hopeless at study commitments, and find multiple excuses to avoid sitting down with the text)
• Find a new job that fully utilises my skills and experience (commenced job hunt late Dec with some chats in January to be scheduled, but really need to get myself out there and find a better solution.  Although there is a SLIM possibility my new manager in my current job will swing things around for me enough that I may stay on)
• Continue learning Spanish - reach at least level 2B by year end (another 20 weeks of night classes ahead, but I really enjoy it - especially during the Winter months)
• On the home front, organise small renovations to apartment (I have a very poor track record with this aspiration to date, but the arrival of parents sometime in March will provide focus on immediate needs and decor options.)
• New carpet; feature wall paint; wallpaper bedroom; new kitchen benchtop, cupboard doors, lighting and splashback; ceiling fans; bedroom chest of drawers etc...
• Organise holiday to Ireland/Europe various in June with Jason, and see my new niece/nephew in Barcelona.
• Establish with Jason if we are to proceed to move to London sometime in 2009 (for a year or two - this is conceptual stuff at this stage)
• Win Lotto (I firmly believe this will happen one day - in my little dabbles to date I almost always win about $20- $30, which point to a luckiness not to be foregone!)

This list will grow and vary as time goes on, and as I want to keep track of it, I will place it in it’s own special place for ease of access.    Now who else is willing to put their aspirations on the table for 2008????
