So I'm not real big in the whole new year's resolution department-- it just seems like another holiday attempt to make people feel guilty. But I did recently resolve late last year that in 2003 I was going to be more involved in volunteering and in my community. So I started talking with different groups and community people late last year about getting involved and now it's all coming together:

This last weekend I volunteered with the Victory Fund and have another meeting with them next week. Yesterday, my friend Ellen asked me to join her on the CARAL Political Committee. I have a volunteer training for the GLBT Center this Saturday. I'm meeting with the Larkin Street Youth Center this week about becoming a mentor to youth. And I haven't even had a chance to contact the people at Stop AIDS about doing something with them, even though I really want to do so. I also have to start my new Spanish class tomorrow night.

Whew! I'm already tired and overcommitted. I'll have to prioritize these very soon. But I am excited to be getting more involved and doing more things in my life and for the community.
