Dear 2008,

Before I type this post, I had to go back to the "Dear 2007," post. Its amazing how major changes occur in one year. Just one year. I remember how I felt typing that specific post. I was very scared of the unknown. I was feeling empty from the inside. Perhaps 2007 was better than I expected. El7imdilla, I graduated with a high GPA. I have 2 healthy cute little nieces. I managed to get my very own job; job of my dreams. I am financially independent. and I cut my hair SHORT. Typing the 2008 post should be much easier.

What I wish for in 2008:
1. see a change in my 4 students. To the better.
2. have more babies in the family
3. keep in touch with my dear ones
4. travel to a country for the first time
5. learn a new thing
6. start Yoga classes
7. save money
8. get a driving license
9. plan for my Masters which should be in 2009
10. follow a healthy diet
11. go to alhajj or omra Insha'Allah
12. get involved is some kind of project that serves the national community
13. give up my beloved IBM laptop and buy a new one

Thats what I have in mind right now.

Dreams and goals. I can count my goals but, ofcourse, there are no limits to my dreams. Some dreams appear right infront of my eyes and can be turned to reality. Others seem to be so far that they fade away. There is one dream that nearly turned to reality. Or I thought it would. But through time, its been getting farther and farther. I can barely hold on to it. It didn't come true in 2005, not 2006, and unfortunately, not 2007. I hope you make it come true in 2008.

Happy new year.
