2008: Personally

We are ready to good bye the year of 2008 and ready to welcome the new year of 2009. There are lots of things that can happen in one year. Many changes occurred in the world-political, in science and technology etc. My country Nepal has gone tremendous change in recent years. Something important might have happened in your personal life as well which might have guided you in some (new) direction.

In my personal life, there is not more that I have achieved or that something which changed the direction of my life or like that but obviously there is something I have gained/done in the year of 2008.

In my study: I completed all my course works, passed cumulative exam which is one of steps in the way to get my PhD degree in Chemistry, got excellent teaching assistant award from the chemistry department of Oregon State University, completed some small research projects and materialized my PhD research theme.

I think it is a right time to review what you have done in last year, what you have to correct, and make plan for new year. For some people its just one more year in your life/age, you became one year old but for some people you are one year more close to go to heaven. :)

I went to Nepal in the summer of 2008, met all my family members and relatives. That was kind of some achievement in the sense that going to homeland for a graduate student in the US is not easy. Nepal trip was great. You can visit some of the posts related to my Nepal trip by clicking the links below.

Share with us, how was your 2008.

  2. One can easily say that you have covered a giant leap in your life from this article.It is my pleasure as I am informed that you are awarded with an excellent teaching assistant award at OSU.It is an inspiring matter for all nepalese students who are pursuing their highr education in USA.I believe this achievement is a glory of Nepal rather than a single student(Basant). I appreciate you. Finally, I wish you a happy new year 2009 AD.
