In Pursuit of Fail?

Do I need to rename my blog to "In Pursuit of Fail"?  I've shared my recent major failure on the cooking front.  Also, I've recently failed my first quiz in the Spanish class I'm taking for fun.  The university pays my tuition since I work there, but if I fail it they make me pay it back.  That would seriously cut into my hobby budget.  Yikes!  I think I'll go watch Destinos, the telenovela that is part of my class assignment to teach us Spanish. Interested in learning Spanish?  Check out Destinos, it is a pretty fun way to learn.  Too bad my whole grade wasn't based on Destinos. Hasta Luego!

Spanish Class

Hola!  
I'm taking beginning Spanish this semester at the university where I work.  Why?  Well one, it is free to me since I work there.  Free education was one of the reasons I was attracted to a career in  higher ed.  Never stop learning, right?  Another reason is that we love traveling to Spanish speaking countries.  Finally, I think it will come in handy with the changing landscape of the US.  The church we were married in offers mass in Spanish for two of their Sunday services.  I'm very excited to learn how to hable espanol! Anyway, here is a fun video "The first semester of Spanish, Spanish love song."  I think I know most of the vocab they use in the video already. Enjoy!
