Thoughts

Flying back to SF...sad to leave Hawaii but excited to get going with
2009. This will most definitely be a year of transition...new
president, will finish my internship this summer, start medical school
(fingers crossed), will need to move again...

A bit overwhelimg to think about, I'm both nervous and excited for all
the changes. As eloquently put in the animated movie Meet the
Robinsons, my motto for this year is to keep moving forward.

A 3 hour tour....

About to embark on our whale watching adventure on the Honolulu
Starlet! Will update if we have any good sightings.

Fun fact I learned today...

I didn't know that aloha was an acronym!!!!

A - kindness (akahai)
L - unity (lokahi)
O - agreeability (olu'olu)
H- humility (ha'aha'a)
A - patience (ahonui)

Literally translated, aloha means the breath of life.

2009 Resolutions

1. Get into medical school
2. Blog every day
3. Make zero clothing purchases*
4. Limit myself to $200/month for food and beverage
5. Become an excellent cook

UDATED 1/7/2009:
6. Read a book a week

* I know this one sounds a bit extreme, but I think it is necessary. It comes with a caveat, I've been eying a jacket for several months that I have coupons for, and I'm going to buy that. I don't consider this breaking my resolution. Also, I'm not including socks and underwear as clothing purchases.
