New Year Resolutions

I was looking at last year's resolutions (I can't believe a whole year has passed already!) and I am proud to announce that I have kept my promise in fulfulling all but three of my ten stated objectives. I'd rather not specify which three though :)

I have ten new resolutions for the coming year, some are feasible, others overly ambitious and one literally utopian. I still believe in all of them with equal strength! :)

1- I shall do my best to pass my first Viva and get on the DPhil confirmation track (ya rabbi!)
2- I shall make two conference communications, and get one journal paper published
3- I shall stop bothering my lovely officemates with personal drama stories; they have enough to worry about :)
4- I shall do something I could be proud of by December 2007
5- I shall have enough courage and skill to address the Oxford Union with one or more speeches before the end of the year
6- I shall find a way to meet her. God make me meet her! I've read enough and have many things to tell and hear for now
7- I shall be more pragmatic and wipe out the last traces of randomness in my life
8- I shall keep my blog up and running, free, lively and critical, despite "everything" :)
9- I shall relaunch the English-speaking competence initiative..but formulate a better strategy and target the correct audience this time
10-I shall write the paper that should have been written 20 years ago. History must not be forgotten but documented and taught ya Slaim mouch hakka?

2007 here I come! :)
