Now don't be alarmed, but for the next week, I will be on vacation. Where, you ask? At the Paradisus Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Have I earned a vacation? Absolutely not. But that's besides the point. The point is, is that I'm going and it should be fun.

Like most trips, the thing I am dreading the most is the flight. It's going to be four hours of turbulence, dips, dives, annoying passengers, and duty-free liquor. I plan on listening to my iPod, reading a book, and doing some crossword puzzles. I just went through three weeks of summer classes, so a four hour flight should be a piece of cake.

My main goal for this vacation is just to relax, eat some good food, and lay on the beach until I turn into a lobster. And since I'll be in the Dominican Republic, I have to do a few other things:

-Get a shipment of some of this "Boli" I've heard so much about.

-Discover a 15-year old pitching phenom and get 50% of his signing bonus.

-Play golf.

And by the way, there is supposed to be a guest blogger for the week, but I am not sure if he'll do it. He expressed interest in doing so, but he has a real job so it might get in the way. I guess I'll find out when I come back.
