Expectations

Ten things I'd like to do in 2015.
  
1. Travel to Spain. This one is relatively easy, as I really am planning on making the trip.   

2. Complete the Each one teach one- course at the university. That is, hanging out with a Spanish native for 20 hours in Spanish and 20 hours in Finnish, writing a couple of reports about it, gaining credits and learning to actually speak. Related to my goal number 1, though useful also in other contexts.
 
3. Actually have an idea of what I'm voting for in the parliamentary elections. This is becoming more and more important to me, as I realize I don't know much about politics and that I don't want to vote for something I don't really believe in.
 
4. Join the student association of all the language subjects, hopefully in the position of organizing events. I'm off to a pretty good start, as I've already been asked to help organizing a cocktail party, can't wait! 

5. Not totally freeze linguistically when I bump into my Spanish teacher around this apartment building. Spanish extempore is not my strong suit, I gotta work on that.
 
6. Pass the history exam. Please.
 
7. Find out more about my family history. I joined this Facebook group of people from my extended family, who have been tracing the roots of our family, it is so interesting that I cannot just ignore it, I will have to look into it. We have the information, why waste it? 

8. Try not to have a nervous breakdown at this year's camps. I can do it, I've got enough experience on leadership now that I think I can pull them off.

9. Replace a light bulb with a new one. Never done it, I think now's the year to do so. Also, now that we're talking lamps, I've got no clue how it's attached to the ceiling. Maybe I should figure it out.

10. To have fun. Not just to have a nice time, but to actually enjoy something so much that I am filled with joy. I won't make specific demands about what it should be, anything goes. As long as I will enjoy it enough that I forget all the worries and the bad stuff, smiling a carefree smile and being happy.

We'll see at the end of the year whether I manage to execute them all, but looks like a pretty damn fine year to me, if these were to come true!
