Currently, I've been done with tree planting for 6 months. Since the end of the season I've been bored and haven't really done much but go on a few short road trips and work. Frankly, if I wasn't hightailing it out of Canada in a week I'd be pretty tempted to season my wine with some cyanide just because my life has reached a level of monetary that is too painful to suffer through anymore.
But, to get back on my non-slightly suicidal tangent, I am going to be able to escape very very soon! On March 4th I am flying to the UK and I'm ridiculously stoked about it.
The reason why I'm not really living (re: working and living at my parents house again) is because I'm taking a year off university. This decision was made with the intention of going to South America in the fall, where I was hoping to stay for the winter months. However, I got stuck in some legal duties and unfortunately needed more money, hence the reason it has taken me until March to be able to go anywhere.
And in the mean time, to pay the bills I've been selling Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. And believe me, my job is actually pretty cool. I seem to have replaced any consumption of alcohol to the consumption of fresh EVOO and balsamic, and not even in small quantities. And when I say fresh I mean it was just harvested and crushed a couple of months ago and when you taste it you get the most amazing notes. And yeah, I'm going to cut myself off right now because I can rant for hours about the stuff, but take my word, that shit is amazing.
