I'll be back in just a shake
My VISTA term ended last Friday. I don't feel any differently; I'm not experiencing any momentous rite of passage for having completed a year of domestic service. But I am looking back at the last 12 months of my life in Alaska and thinking, "Wow, what an amazing year... People here are crazy... but I love them... I'm crazy too... Where do I go from here... and what's left unsaid in all these ellipses?"
I'm pretty sure the answer to those questions lies in a three week beach bumming bonanza in the sun-and-tequila drenched Pacific coast of Mexico. Or maybe that's just a good excuse to swing in a hammock and drink margaritas the size of my face.
So goodbye poverty income! Screw you rainy weather! See you on the flipside.
When you’re on a golden sea
You don’t need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

of course, the margarita is not native to mexico but has made its presence felt in a very real way and spreads from tourist trap to tourist trap. it would move totally unchecked across the land were it not for its natural predator, the vacationer
Congratulations on all your work! Won't you miss the measly pennies they give oyu and call it a "paycheck"? Best wishes in your next endeavor!
