Travelling

i want to travel.

i've always wanted to go places, see the world, experience cultures.
but to do that you need money, and to get enough money you have to stay in one place for a while.

i'm doing that now - i've been at this job for about half a year and counting - which is quite surprising seeing how time flies by so fast; it didn't feel like 1/2 a year at all.

it's a pretty good job, it's got it's rewards, the pay is pretty good for a guy like me but i'm jealous of the people who can just go take some time off work and go somewhere for 3 months.

i mean, it makes sense if you're part of a work force that has 20 other people like you and that it's not that much of a hassle if you go away for a few months.
but for me; if i miss a day or two - God forbid; 3 days - the news and special items go to crap.
and there's no-one to take my place if i go; there's no intern to pass my work on to, there's no volunteer that's going to be able to do the same work i do.

being a company asset sucks!

but getting back to the point - there are times i wanted to go back to studying; not just to learn crap but to have the free time to travel during the breaks and what not.
but i dont want to dish out thousands of dollars for tuition just for "free time".

oh well, i guess i should just take it as it goes. Annual Leave is such a B.
