This became a tradition for me, probably because I love to make lists and this was a great opportunity to create a new one. Also, it brings me satisfaction when I draw the line at the end of the year and I can tick some of them off; but remember, even though all of them are about the result, the process is the one that makes things rewarding, enjoyable and worth the trouble!
This is my list from last year:
1. A car! (I insist)
2. To discover in Cluj a cosmetician and a hair-stylist just like the ones I have back home.
3. To reach my target figures every month.
4. To continue my second year of MA without paying for it.
5. To develop my NGO.
6. To have a date for my cousin’s wedding.
7. To successfully pass Adrian’s ‘life-learning tests’.
8. To be patient.
9. To cook more.
10. To sign up for a photography class with my sister.
The results are:
2*, 4, 7**, 8, 9 – checked! (same number as in 2009)
1 – I had my parents’ car for more than 6 months and also drove the car from work the rest of the time; this counts, because it made me think more about the responsibilities of owning a car and I still have a lot to learn.
3 – I don’t work there anymore, so I don’t have monthly targets. I don’t regret my decision and I admit I learned a lot during my time there and also I am thankful for the friends I’ve made – maybe I will write about this experience in a different post, just maybe.
5 – I won’t talk about that subject yet.
6 – I could have, but then he decided I was overqualified or something like that. I won’t cry a river.
10 – Yea, me and my sister will never be able to match our schedules. Buuuttt..we did go on ONE road trip this year – we were planning of visiting some of Romania’s beautiful places we didn’t get the chance to see so far. The trip to Arad was pretty fun and adventurous, right ‘tiny dangerous one’?
* I found the cosmetician and I really like her, but I realized I am really satisfied with George, so I am not changing my hair-stylist! 
** The tests are never going to stop, but I believe so far so good. Right, AS?
To sum up, I am proud of myself, of how I’m growing up. Things are starting to change in my life, I need to change my priorities, I am focusing on different tasks .. This year’s experiences made me believe in my instinct more, showed me I deserved more, made me opened my horizons a little bit more. Ironic, I am still unemployed!
2011, here I go:
1. To go on an EVS project.
2. To be proud of my final MA paper.
3. To do an ‘I’d never do it’ thing (eg. a tattoo, to hitchhike, to go to an Ozzy concert etc.).
4. To work on my writing skills & my public speaking.
5. To travel to every country/continent where I have friends waiting for my visit!
6. To see at least 20 movies during TIFF.
7. To use my Twitter account daily.
8. To try and get involved in as many outdoor activities as possible.
9. To visit the girls in London.
10. To take IT easy & just enjoy the ride!
Alors, on dance!
