Last year's list repeated

The rules:

The categories:
Things you learned this year
People you met
Things you don't want to take with you into 2010
Things you want to hold close as you pass into 2010
Things you're looking forward to in 2010
Things that were life changing in 2009
Things you hope to accomplish by the end of 2010

Now you can either give two answers for each category OR you can choose two from that list and give seven answers. No tags... if you like doing me-mes or have writer's block, go for it.
