i am having trouble deciding...
i'm 23. i have an old family friend getting married in her backyard this weekend. she and i aren't very close. i do many things with my family and it seems that this summer is booked with tons of family-related weekends and i want a weekend to get away. so i was thinking of flying to LA to ride some rollercoasters and have a good healthy break. i go to school fulltime and work fulltime. my practicum is high stress (child sex abuse cases) and i need a break soon. my family doesn't realize how much stress i'm under and they will think it's retarded that i'll go to a themepark to have a 'vacation'. should i wait 3 weeks to take a break or just go this weekend? i hate causing my family upset but i also hate catering to people just to avoid conflict; i know i can't make everyone happy anyway. so what should i do?

Send your congrats via a gift or card and go on your vaca. If you aren't good to yourself you won't be good to anyone, especially your clients who really are depending on you to make things better. They are definately more sensitive to stress then most, so just go get some relaxation and fun.

Go to the wedding. You can go on the trip in 3 weeks, and if you miss the wedding you may feel bad about it later.

Make yourself happy. No reason you should be miserable to cheer someone else up.

Do what you want to do. Afterall, you said it yourself, you are not that close to the person.
