Today, I started my Spanish class. My first venture into the adult ed system. One of my new year's resolutions.
I thought that I'd be one of a very few people under 65. And I was definitely right about that.
What I did not expect was a tall, dark and very handsome guy in the class who is actually close to my age. He came in and sat behind me.
Now, don't get me wrong, I would never in a million years cheat on Seth.
But I'm not blind. No siree...
Anyhoo, during the class, the teacher split us into pairs to practice the small chit chat phrases we were learning that day. I had hoped to be paired with the man behind me but instead, I got paired up with the woman next to me - an elderly woman with lipstick on her teeth who just didn't get it.
Oh well.
If nothing else, I'm guessing I'll learn a little patience in this class even if I don't learn Spanish as quickly as I'd like. I'm so used to being with folks who are as or more intelligent than I am. In this class, we have a wide range (and at the risk of being cocky, I think I'm at the top end of the range). I hope it will be good for me. Patience is something I need to learn more of (sorry for the dangling preposition).

I love when you say, "anyhoo."
Brava for following through on a resolution. I know this hasn't been the easiest year for you, so standing ovation para usted.
