Note to Self

It's a week-long vacation in a hot Central American country. You will eat lobster, swim through the second-longest barrier reef in the world, go kayaking, read in a hammock, visit Mayan ruins, and see your one-and-only brother get married. Your parents are paying for you, a fact for which they have neither made you feel beholden nor guilty.

So for God's sake enjoy it! Forget about your money problems and stop worrying about getting a job for one lousy week and just enjoy yourself. You'll thank me later. Trust me.
