So...we've got a 2008 thread but thats all just in the past.  Lets hear about what people are expecting from 2009!

Personally I'm hoping to make some decisions regarding going back to school or not and what future plans are.  I'm attending a minimum of one wedding this coming summer (last summer was 2) but there is still time and I have a few friends I'm expecting to get together sometime soonish.  I bought my car so now its onto finding my own place but thats contingent on financial and educational plans.  Who knows...maybe there is some small hope for "finding the right one" but thats always a tricky proposition of course.

Hoping of course that the economy pulls out of the flat spin its in right now, kicks hard rudder, reduces throttle...and levels out somewhere.

Other folks thoughts?

I'm hoping to learn driving this year, as well as modelling and texturing. I also wanna see a TAP/FotG Demo.

[Stealth]

For 2009, I hope to get to meet many of you in person, as we work on making this HLP USA to become a reality

On the side agenda, hope to take the Bondurant high performance driving class, travel more, perhaps work at increasing my knowledge of my secular field, furthering my schooling, etc.

[ssmit132]

Well, it's my last year at high school, so I'll be thinking about University, and working hard. I'll probably also try to buy and download Galactic Civilizations II early on in January.

I'm hoping to learn driving this year,

Maybe that, too, but personally I don't like the thought of me behind the wheel of a car.  I'm probably just paranoid.

Hoping to get good enough marks to win a PhD scholarship in 2010
Travel
More social time
ST:R! (I haven't had time to download it yet - Australian bandwidth  )

[ssmit132]

Correction: Australian bandwith everywhere but Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria (AFAIK) =

I've had no problems so far with my broadband, over here in the east.

[portej05]

We get 10GB/20GB (from 2am to 12noon) at 24MBps (more like 15MBps) which is pretty good by Aussie standards. We get reset tonight, so will be able to get ST:R tomorrow!

[ssmit132]

Sorry, I assumed you had a bad connection or dropouts, or something. My apologies, since yours is much better than mine. 

[Mefustae]

The Apocalypse.


No, wait, that's 2012. Never mind.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I don't expect much from 2009, apart from seeing the transport network of Singapore come up...

[Fearless Leader]

Maybe the US will find the WMD's this year...

[Mars]

I'm hoping that I can continue a good relationship with this girl - even though we're gonna be 60 miles apart with no car.

Hopefully I'll be able to transfere to a slightly better college

Maybe I'll be able to upgrade my job

[Bob-san]

Transfer to a much better college. I'm looking at Columbia, NYU, or Iona in NY or Penn or PennState in PA. I'd like to get a job and a car in 2009.

[Nuke]

hope to get a job next month and go to finland this summer chasing after some girl i met on the internets.

[Rick James]

Lose Weight. Finish High School. Get Girlfriend. Apply for University.

That's it.

[eliex]

I'm going to work hard and maintain my position in the A class at my school and perhaps find a school-holidays job.
Also, I'm going to get the MT project back into full flow and finish FREDding at least half of the missions by the end of next year.

[Ashrak]

survive january, get new gearbox for car, survive february, survive.

[admiral_wolf]

-Get a job
-Get my driving licence
-Try and fathom why my FSO has stopped working, if needs be I'll bloody well delete and reinstall everything!

[Mongoose]

I'd be content with just finding a grain of motivation to do something beyond sitting on my ass and putzing around on the Internet.

[CP5670]

I want to make some progress on my thesis and get a few papers published, maybe start a new Lego project in the summer, and hopefully have some good new PC games to play.
