It's January 1, 2012. News sources, Facebook, and other sites I frequent are filled with retrospective posts about the past year. However, instead of a year in review, I decided to try a year in preview. I'm not writing these as predictions, but here are a few things I expect to happen or not this year...
I will get my first research study approved by the IRB.
I will go backpacking twice this year.
I will post at least twelve times to this blog.
I will continue to think about writing a book about psych nursing but won't make any real progress.
I will not become a grandparent.
I will travel to California once.
I will get an article published in a professional journal.
Again, these aren't predictions. They aren't resolutions either, although it's obvious that I'm going to have to resolve to do things in order to make a couple of these predictions come true. And they aren't all wishful thinking, I'd be perfectly happy if I became a grandparent this year.
