What will the new year bring?

Well it's a new year finally. 2007 sure had a lot of ups and downs although I think more downs than anything. Hopefully 2008 will be better for me. I spent a good amount of time thinking of a good new years resolution but instead only came up with things that I was already planning on doing and will likely do. Here's a few of them:

1) Move out of the apartment that I share with E and into my own.
2) Either maintain my current job as a chemist or hopefully find another embryologist job somewhere.
3) Begin either getting ready to go into Grad school or med school for next year.
4) Get out and start making new friends and dating.
5) Get divorced.
6) Pay off a sizable chunk of money that's owed to my in laws.

I think those six items should keep me fairly busy for this year and if not then I have a few other items that, while they will likely not occur this year, are in my future plans.

1) Eventually get a house again (likely after the housing market finally bottoms out)
2) Start a family someday.
3) Become an M.D., D.O. or Ph.D.

In the end though this year taught me not to try to plan things out to far in advance because all of your best laid plans can come crashing down in an instant. So while I ask myself, "I wonder what this year will bring?" I know that whatever it is I'll be taking it one day at a time.
