week 1 things 1 & 2

I am excited to finally get going on the 23 things, but disappointed in myself that I didn't get started sooner. Better late than never!
Thing 1: I read and read all around the 23 things site and became rather confused. I hope, as I catch up, things will become more clear.
Thing 2: It is a coincidence that I have just taken it upon myself to learn Spanish. I will be going on a long road trip in April and have purchased a Spanish language program on CD to listen as I drive. I have started it here in Vermont when I go to meetings. I hope to stick to it and actually be able to have basic conversations with our Spanish speaking students in our school. The lifelong learning contract is just the ticket for me!
