when the right thing isn't cheap

I want to go to Carrie's memorial in Kodiak. It'll take three days of travel - that's three days missed of study time, and a final that I'll have to make up. And $1,000.

I want to go to Liberia for the summer. Housing looks to cost about the same as what it costs here - and yeah, that's with no guarantee of electricity or water. About $700/month plus all sorts of other costs, including the $2,000 + to get there.

These are all things that feel like the right thing to do - but spending that kind of money and time is scary.
