Learning Plan
In the past, I have never been one to set my sights on something that will take place more than a few months in the future. However, completing the learning plan forced me to map out my life for at least the next year. When doing this, I chose to set long term goals of studying abroad and learning to speak Spanish. Having these goals in my mind with specific dates in the future by which I plan to accomplish them has already led me to focus more than I normally would on these goals. I have already attained information about studying abroad in Australia during the spring of 2008, even though applications for schools in Australia aren't due until next October. Also, I have registered for a Spanish class next semester that will develop my skills to a level at which I should be able to begin conversing in the Spanish language. I am excited to see how my improved goal-setting skills will be reflected in the results of my actions as I continue to take steps towards achieving these goals in the upcoming year.

My results with the learning plan were similar. I headed into the paper very skeptical, but have come out of it very pleased. It truly did set me into action for my goals, and has forced me to consider my options.
Australia sounds amazing, have fun.
