Thing 1 and Thing 2

I know I'm going to be thinking about Dr. Suess and Cat in the Hat all the way through this assignment - that is, when I get over feeling intimidated by the process :)

Since I have been in school for the last 7 years, and still have another year-and-a-half to go, I want to believe I am a "lifelong learner" in concept. However, I seem to do that as the need arises in meeting classroom assignments (like this one :). I never really thought about setting goals for accomplishing it as a task, but more in just continuing the journey. I laugh about Austin Peay having to kick me off campus because it seems that as long as I keep giving them money, they let me come back each semester. I love the idea of learning, and I hope I have inspired my kids to feel that way too.

Thing 2 seems to be requiring me to do something with which I am completely unfamiliar: Using a public venue to put my thoughts and ideas in writing. This one truly meets Habit 3 for me, because it is challenging me to do something I have never contemplated as being part of my life. I have anonymously contributed to blogs in the past, but that is a little different from my perspective. I can see that this medium will be useful in a professional capacity, so maybe it is a good thing that I am working through the feelings of being intimidated by the tools on the internet. Go Dr. Wall! :)
