Back-to-School

Classes started yesterday. I meant to post yesterday, but for some reason the day just flew by and time escaped me. We had our first chapel service today. It's always so good to hear the cathedral full of singing voices.

Part of me is sad that school has started. Sad that I'm not starting classes, too.

Don't get me wrong, I don't miss homework. My real nostalgia comes from the deep excitement that I get over new school supplies. I know, I'm a nerd, but there's something about a brand new notebook with never-before-written-on pages and brand new pens. Ahh, pens. And new sharpies? Oh, bliss.

The other day I found a reason for needing a new notebook. I was so excited that I could actually justify going and picking out a brand new notebook with a fun design on the cover. Those first pages are perfect: neat handwriting, even-sized bullets, and NO doodles. Once the newness wears off, things start getting sloppy, but once it's full - time to get a new one :o)

If you ever want somebody to accompany you to an office supply store, I'm there...

You could come shopping in my classroom. We have office depot in our classroom. And lots of sharpies. I also share your love for sharpies!

I so know what you mean! I have the desperate need to purchase school supplies, too...but I can't drive at the moment... If I could, let me tell you, I'd be buying notebooks and pencils!

See ya one of these days...

Love, Karyn
