Ah, there's nothing like the smooth pace of a true vacation to set one's mind at ease. At ease about the empty bank account, the lack of a job, the lack of a portfolio, the need to go to the mall at T minus three days, the need to wrap gifts, the need to assemble gifts, the need to do laundry, the need to go to the dentist, the need to figure out when to head back into town oh god oh god there's so muchtodohelp.
