D to the I to the LEMA

Happy Mickey Mouse's Birthday!

So here is my dilema.

This upcoming spring break I have two options: to go on a VERY expensive choir trip for a few days in a chilled locale as shown below:

Or, to vacation in a toasty, more luxurious venue illustrated:

Quite the dilema. For there are pros and cons to both.

#1 

Pros

          - With friends from school (all of whom I would LOVE to be on a trip with)

          - Visit some interesting locations

          - Visit a Disney theme park

          - Strengthen bonds & make memories

     

Cons

          - $$$$$$$$$

          - Money that could be used for a more useful purpose wasted

          - Money for college gone

          - During spring break

          - Limits my number of family vacations

          - All items on itinerary I have either done before or could easily do myself

          - Most accommodations would not be preferable. One of the hotels mentioned is possibly one that I would desire, but I remain uncertain whether it is the hotel I think or not.

#2 

Pros

          - Little to no expense on my part

          - Spend time with family

          - WARM

          - Vacation I have never experienced before

          - Could be for a longer period than a week (a possibility)

          - WARM

          - Very nice. Nice accommodations, nice experience - the picture perfect vacation I wanted as a child.

          - With my college schedule, this is possibly the only year I could do a vacation like this. Next year it may be too late.

          - Be able to save my money the way I want to

          - Strengthen bonds & make memories

Cons

          - Miss out on only opportunity for a school trip
          - Miss out on adventures my friends would be having
          - Miss out on the chance to strengthen bonds

I am going to lose something no matter which vacation I choose. There is no way to remain unscathed.

Anywho.
Let's get back to business.

Isn't this the perfect description of my personality? Notice the 40 posts in July, and the measly 2 in all of October. I am crazy about something one moment, then I could care less the next. I am super diligent for a while, but then I lapse into a bout of determined unproductivity. 

Cool stuff.

Musical is over! It was so fun, and I am so grateful that I was able to make it into the cast this year. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I am going to cherish those memories forever. I got to know some amazing people, and I am very proud to say that I gained 52 friends, friends who I am lucky to have.

On a side note, I have been thinking about how much I hate publicity. I really am dreading the idea of putting my url out there, to ask people to read. Obviously I need to work on posting regularly  but regardless, I am not a huge fan of when other bloggers focus on promos and buttons. I'm okay with friends and family, but I feel that once you make pleas for the world to see, you lose some of your freedom.

Silly ramblings of McCall done.
For now.
