The Year of the Chinchilla

I think that 2008 was defined by my aquring large quantites of animals. It was also deeply defined by my profession. I left a job that I was deeply unhappy at and am now in a school that I greatly enjoy. The transistion from miserable to okay has certainly been welcome, and I thank the Almightly that it happened. However, I do want to move from okay to fantatic. I need to do this by taking more risks and being more proactive about pursuing my happiness. I think that I'm at a good point where I'm not overwhelmed with work that I can sit back and plan and scheme.
The major unique goal this year is to go to Spain for two or more weeks.
Other goals include to increase the amount of hiking and biking that I do.
