vacation planning

really looking forward to my upcoming four days off. now that i've only got one shift to go, i feel like i am going to survive it. i also think that the cost-benefit ratio of working the weekend shifts is in my favour- instead of working five days a week and getting two days off, i work an extra two days and double my time off. :O nice!

i used to wish i'd chosen a shorter degree so that i could graduate earlier, but now i realise that life would have been a lot more taxing without all of these endless summer holidays. regarding the upcoming vacation, i am currently trying to decide between a week-long road trip and bumming around at home. you'd think this would be an easy decision to make, but it's not!!!

Reasons to go
- i really, really want to go to exmouth/ningaloo reef
- limited opportunities/leave once i start working
- won't be able to go as a large group due to said leave issues

Reasons to stay
- should really spend more quality time with my pets and family
- help mum out with the housework so she can play more golf
- save $$$ since i'm going overseas
- will have more time to catch up with friends/sort out misc admin stuff/pack instead of cramming it all into grad week
- way too tiring; might just want to bum around and R&R at home and recharge
