It's okay, in less than a month I'm taking a few days to backpack to a town on the shores of Lake Chelan that is only accessible by foot, ferry, or float plane. I never had money for such adventures during school, it's a give and take kind of thing.
I hope its as good as it sounds. Usually these things are not as awesome as you were expecting. Just remember to make the most of it! Haruhi style.
