i guess this is growing up

so i was thinking yesterday about almost a year ago while in costa rica. i remember thinking how much i appreciated the people who arranged everything, made the plans, figured out all the details, and how i could never do that. i found it hard to imagine myself even doing the planning for a family vacation someday for just a couple people.

i found myself at work this week doing that. i was assigned to find accommodations for 30 people for two weeks in, of all places, manuel antonio, the same place we were at last year. i've also been negotiating contracts (which i never thought i'd do) that are larger than my annual salary (is it weird that my credit card limit is more than i make in a year?).

so far work has been an awesome experience. i love it. it's been fun to learn new things and be thrown in the deep end in some cases and be forced to learn some useful skills that i never really could have imagined myself being good at.
