I think I can safely say that 2007 was a very good year for me, especially in academic regards. I finished my master degree in psychology in September. In April, I applied for a studentship for a PhD at the University of Birmingham, got accepted and started that this October! And as a consequence, I also moved from the Netherlands to the UK.
So far, I'm quite enjoying myself as a PhD student - it's hard work, but it's very rewarding and I get to work with some of the best people in the field. I'm quite eager to see what next year will bring me! As for new years resolutions, I'd think my main one would be to get my first article published or at the very least submitted. Furthermore, I want to visit conferences, meet new people, and talk about the research I'm doing. In that respect I think I'll be up for a treat next year!
But, enough science talk. Tomorrow I'll fly back home to the Netherlands and enjoy two weeks of "rest". Quite looking forward to seeing my parents and my cat Floris again. Leaves me one last thing to do: I'd like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and all the best for the new year!
