Cubing wise: I really want to get a sub-30 average in 2009 and post a best of sub-30 in the WCA rankings.
Otherwise: stay alive, retain my job, keep happy, get over this cold

1) be hired as an actuary
2) start, and stay motivated to continue, the home version of the 300 workout
3) don't lose my passion for cubing - i.e. continue learning and trying new things, both for BLD and speed
4) Go to Worlds 2009
