I think I did pretty well here. Honestly, I really kept purchases to a minimum last year. What I did purchase was clothes and shoes, and most recently my macbook (but it was becoming very needed). One success!
2. Moisturize more often.
If we look at the year as a whole, I failed. If we look at November/December, I'm rocking this one. As the new assessment practices are teaching me, it's only most current behaviour that should be assessed however, and that means I get to say I succeeded with this one. 2 down!
3. Drink more wine.
I said this was going to be my attainable resolution and it most certainly was. 2007 saw the arrival of a wine drinking Chelle. I now drink wine because I enjoy it, not because I'm trying to make myself like it. The arrival of Invisible Roommate and her extensive knowledge of good, reasonably priced wine has not hurt my cause any. 3/6!
4. See Nelly Furtado.
I failed. Miserably. But not because I didn't try, because I somehow slept in and missed my flight. A big shout out to Westjet who managed to get me to Montreal on April 5th anyway. A big boo on me for being in transit during the show. Sigh.

5. Revamp the way I teach Math 10.
I am happy to say I have more love for Math 10. I met some fabulous resources and was given some pretty fantastic opportunities this last year in the means of professional development. I have definitely changed the way I approach the course in a much more concrete way - an I anticipate doing a much better job of marrying my new knowledge and my teaching style when repeat the course next year. I think it means good things that my grade 11s have been a little jealous that they didn't get to do some of the things this year's 10s are doing.
6. Get out more often.
Just a meh here. I did alright, but there is certainly room for improvement. I do have more friends in the city now, and that was a year long project in itself, so I suppose there are small successes here. I'm looking forward to my new semester (no core french!) and the return of Rach and Jeff to be sure. JJ and her boy are also moving to the queen city, so I anticipate monthly visits in at least one direction to be sure.
All in all, I'd say 2007 was pretty successful and 2008 is shaping up to be even better.

We should talk Math 10. I think my timetable for quarter 4 will include a section (or 2) of glorious Math 10.
