"Please--I just need a vacation from my life. You never heard of that?"

I find myself needing a vacation from my life, a lot. With school, work, and other miscellaneous things, life can be unfortunately stressful. Grant it, I do live in a vacation spot, but when you are just doing every day life things, it's not so much a vacation spot to you anymore. With finals coming up, I could definitely use "a vacation from my life," just to get away from everything that has to do with school and relax. Hmmm yes, that would be perfect. This quote caused me to reflect more personally, rather than on the book. I chose this picture of a beach in Queensland, Australia.. looks like the perfect getaway to me.
