The first day of school.

Ah. The first day of school. Truly one of the most anticipated days of my year, the first day of school has always haunted and thrilled me simulataneously. I love the idea of it: new outfit, fresh pens, crisp folders (color coded for each class of course) and the anticipation of another year. When the actual day comes, it always seems to go a little less than perfectly. Suddenly the new outfit doesn't look as good, the color coded folder system doesn't work out or I stub my toe on the base of a fan and break it. (Yes that happened this morning, and no- I broke my toe, I think, not the fan.) So although this morning I'm only working the first day of school, not actually attending class, it's the same story... Hooray for the new year, damn my toe.
