count down to costa rica: 1 week.

I'm beyond excited... after this shift, i've got two more then its adios canada, hola costa rica. i know, i'm a lucky kid.

i've been thinking. for the past six months, I've said to people who ask me, that the reason i don't want to spend my vacation volunteering and doing 'good' in a foreign country is because my job takes it all out of me... what i do on as a profession, drains me... and so the vacation time I have is "my time"... my time to chill out, relax and enjoy.  I know that it sounds selfish, but I really did believe that a vacation needs to be a vacation. I was afraid that if i were to go and volunteer, coming back I wouldn't be in top form to work... and being so new to everything, it would make it that much more difficult to survive the anarachy that is work.

But i'm over myself now... next year... anyone up for going to south africa?
