It’s with excitement and a bit of anxiety that I wait for school to start.  Just over a week away now, the start of the school year looms.  I remind myself how much I enjoyed last year, and how fast it went.  But still first day school jitters remain.  Will I like my classes?  Will I be able to do the work?  How will I fit school and work into the same week? 

In the end I’m sure it will be fine.  I’m already nostalgic for summer and it’s not even officially over yet.  I’m already missing days with no agenda, sweet summer evenings without homework, spending an idle hour napping under the trees with Katie the dog, sleeping in until I (or Katie) wake up, sipping ice tea while contemplating what to eat for lunch.  Ah…those were the days!
