Ah, Life...

Busy busy busy lately... seems like I just catch my breath and then there's more to do, but luckily I think the end of the semester is shaping up to slow down!!

I feel like this blog has taken a turn towards me just posting random "fwd" messages that I get and not really writing about anything in particular... so do I want to switch back to some sort of "journal" approach? meh, don't think I have time for that!!

If you know me, my updates on here might make sense... if not, well enjoy the random ramblings

I've been working on resolving myself to just taking life as it comes at me... and not being so impatient or concerned with what I want all the time... wish me luck!

Along that note, I have taken a job-- at Epic Systems!! It was pretty much just placed in front of me and I think it's perfect for me. Travel so I don't get stuck in Madison and yet still located here close to family.

Next year will be strange-- a real job, real life, and so many people moving to places other than madison... I feel like it's a whole new beginning! Who knows what else will happen too, eh? :)

Ok enough sentimentality.

Sunday April 2, 2006 there is a bowling drive to benefit Mashambanzou ("dawn of a new day"), a charity in Hararre, Zimbabwe. It helps orphans, widows, widowers, and those affected by AIDS (which has a like 35% infection rate in Zimbabwe!)... Due to some Rotarian connections we can get money in to the charity, despite corruption and bad government! If anyone who reads this is bored from noon-5pm on Sunday, head for Union South and bowl for an hour for Mashambanzou---bring friends, just $30 per team of 4-6 people (that's $5/person and includes the lane and shoes!)

Ok that's my plug for that.

:) I am in quite the good mood today, despite being sore from running like a zillion miles yesterday (I seriously got carried away for a first run outside)... the weather was so gorgeous I just took off and before I knew it I was out by the beltline near Park St almost... and I started by the capital...
