Frustration

I am a few days away from going on the road again and all I feel is frustration. There is so much to do and so little time to do it all in. Sometimes I just want to scream at the top of my lungs, but I do a really bad job of screaming. Anyhow, last weeks travels were pretty cool. The gang and I ventured to Maryland to do some alumni work in Baltimore/DC. We got to meet some pretty cool people. The University of Maryland is a beautiful campus. We went from there to NYC where I have decided it would be very difficult for me to live. Just way too much going on ALL THE TIME. You could honestly go for weeks before you realize that you are consumed in the craziness that is New York City. I don't know. I am just not really sure its for me.

Other than that, I am getting ready to travel, so immediately following this post, I am going to put up my schedule. Not very excited about it right now because I have so much to get done still and not very much time to do it in. I guess we will see how it goes. I am excited about being in the midwest. I really need to start looking for jobs soon. So if you are reading this and know of some job opportunities that will be opening up next spring, let me know.

I guess that is it for now. Let the excitement begin....it's almost time.

Think About It

Ever been in a situation where you want to say something...but can't...or you could, but you may not really want to... or maybe you do want to, but you know that it would be bad if you did...and you realize that your life and everyone elses will be much better if you don't, or would it? Sometimes we learn by speaking up, other times we learn by keeping our mouths shut. Where is the winner? Where is the loser? Is there a winner? Who will it be? Why? Why Not? Ever considered that?!

A Hawkeye Weekend

This past weekend was a lot of fun. I went to Iowa for a recruitment event which ended up being canceled. That did not make it bad. I was still very happy to be there as I had an opportunity to meet some cool people and hang out with others that I already knew. Saturday morning was a little different. I woke up at 6:30am to drive from Iowa City to Davenport for the BIX 7. It is a seven mile run/walk marathon that people do. I guess there were about 20,000 people involved in the race! WHOA! It was fun though. The people that won were really fast. I got to see Haase run too. He did pretty darn good. Anyhow, the rest of the evening was spent relaxing and hangin out with people...shaving heads...good times.
