CONGRATULATIONS!   Way to go!  Keep at it...and as soon as you can get on the air.  Find some cooperative and patient buddies who will listen for you. There are a BUNCH of us out here who really enjoy helping in this way.  I think that's the best practice. Besides, if you can decipher MY spelling, you are doing well!

73's means something like "Best Regards"
72 is the QRP version (one less)
88 is love and kisses
