I hated this time of the year. I’d watch TV and see an ad for “Back To School Savings.”
Each time, I’d see that I’d know summer was over and it was back to the books. I hated school. It always bored me. I can’t believe it’s that time of year already. Not only does a commercial play touting savings on clothes during every break, I even just saw an Internet ad with the same message.
My mother works at a school and she goes back (along with the students) on Tuesday. It just seems so early. By the way, it’s her birthday this weekend (Happy Birthday early!) The Tuesday start is somewhat of a tradition in my school district. This year, it’s the same thing and it’s a good idea. Ease the students back into the whole school routine. The three weeks following include Fair Day, Labor Day and an In-Service Day for the teachers.
Still, my sympathies go out to all of the students who have to go back to classes,
And the teachers! I always feel for the teachers who have to go back (maybe cause I am one!).
We go through all of that in January. The end of the summer holidays is always a sad time! :*( No more sleep-ins, no more summer reading and here we go back to hot, hot classrooms that are so inadequate when dealing with heat.
Happy birthday to your mum! Hope she has a great day!
School is overrated. I learned everything I’ve ever needed to know on MacGyver.
yeah, I was never a huge fan of school myself….although there were little moments that made it worthwhile.
Well, girls for one thing.
*dwells on the above for a moment*
And also my junior high English teacher, who remains a good friend of mine, after all of these years…..
While I always hated giving up summer, i looked forward to going back to school to see if any girls got better looking over the two months off. Plus there might be new girls in school who did not yet know what a jackass I was.
Thanks for your comments on underage Chinese gymnasts. The US team might not have AARP cards, but the Chinese won’t hive drivers licenses. Or library cards.
Yeah, I’ll use the “I don’t like school” excuse for the reason it is taking me so long to finish my degree.
Has nothing to do with the fact I want like eight different majors.
BTW, I have a week to decide if I’m doing fall semester again. Meh.
