operation suck it up

Am now halfway back from my latest too-short holiday. In several ways (e.g. professionally, linguistically, physically) it has certainly been more enriching than usual. Part of the reason for this though stems from the fact that since this was an abridged vacation, there was less time for idleness. That being said, i am glad that i did make pretty much the most of what i could get. Now awaits the dreaded transition back to reality..
