So much to look forward to
So our own indefatigable Betsy secured the very last campsite available at Moab, Utah for Memorial Day weekend! Woot! It's called WindWhistle and looks absolutely amazing. All of the companions (11) are going, from early Saturday morning to late Monday night. I had hoped to explore more of the West while being in Colorado, and now's my chance! Apparently the star-gazing in phenomenal in Moab, giving me a chance to brush up on my rusty astronomy knowledge =)

Happy May!
Two months and counting! Having the end in sight gives a special poignancy to the remaining days here in Denver.
The weather has been wacky lately. As a pleasant present for the start of May, the skies emptied snow and freezing rain upon us. It was beautiful, indeed, but cold! In May! Thankfully this weekend has been much more Spring-like. I spent a blissful hour in the hammock outside. Yesterday a housemate and I biked 45 minutes to the Denver Seminary to attend Vigil Praise, a time of praise and worship in front of the Blessed Sacrament, led by the seminarians. Afterwards, we biked home in the dark, on a bike path that paralleled the Platte River. There's something about hearing running water nearby when you can't see it that is so mesmerizing.
I believe that I forgot to mention that I now have three job placements. I'm still tutoring through the family resource center and giving out food at the Food Bank once a week, but now on Mondays I am working at a health clinic for uninsured patients called Clinica Tepeyac. I'm grateful that I'm being kept busy, and it's interesting to see three totally different aspects of service.
Today was a wonderful Sabbath, the first time in a long while I've had nothing to do on Sunday but attend mass in the morning and prayer in the evening. I'm glad to have the time to ponder, daydream, read, and play piano.
