That's okay, but usually when we're talking about something which is still a possibilty we use "hope" and about something which i impossible we use "wish" . I could write you an A4 page on the rules so there's no space here! - rabbitwho, Sep 17, 2010

It's explained well here: http://www.eslbase.com/grammar/wish . Basically the general rule is HOPE for future and possible present, WISH for past and imposible present. - rabbitwho, Sep 17, 2010
