probability - Rolling a die until obtaining the face 6. Whats the expected amout of the sum?

A game where you roll a fair die, repeatedly, adding up the faces that show up, until the face 6 appears. What is the expected sum (including the 6)?


All I can think of is that the expected value of each roll is $7/2$.

I'd appreciate your help!
