As I Enter A New Year

I try to make resolutions each year as the new year is starting and I guess it's about time to make a commitment to 2012 and another year of life.

- Improve my Arabic and fix my accent

- Get approval to begin my thesis research

- Return to Jordan and continue to build professional contacts

- Begin research for my thesis

- Learn how to manage my time more wisely

- Develop more compassion for others

- Be true to my convictions

- Take time to meditate and reflect

- Find happiness in each day
