Back To School

Phase I of the next chapter of my life begins tomorrow - I start school. I am very glad that my 8 month "vacation" is about to be over. I did get some needed down time, and I got to goof off a bit, but I need a purpose in life! I hope that this will be the first step in finding a job that I really love someday. I have to go to classes on campus for 5 days straight. Each day lasts from 8AM to 5PM, which I'm guessing is going to be quite a shock to my system. You would think I might have gone to bed early last night to start readying my body for the early wakeup call. You would think, but you would be horribly wrong. Although going to bed early last night was my plan, early somehow turned into 1AM - I am so screwed! After the first 5 days the rest of the semester consists of online work. I won't be starting my job until about a week later, which I think will be good as it will give me a little time to get into the groove with school.

Thinking about my first day of school in 11 years made me think about how my mom used to take a picture of my sister and I on the front porch on our first day of school every year. Maybe I should do that tomorrow! I sure hope the other kids don't make fun of me.

I know that Kiki and Michelle are quite fond of posting poems on their blogs, and I enjoy reading them. So I thought of a poem of sorts that seems quite fitting. It's from the Oscar winning film "Billy Madison":

Back to school, back to school
To prove to Dad that I'm not a fool
I got my lunch packed up
My boots tied tight
I hope I don't get in a fight
Ohh, back to school, back to school, back to school
Well, here goes nothing!
