Fall is right around the corner and everywhere I turn people are talking about back-to-school shopping, buying school supplies, and packing to go away to college.
I was always one of those losers who looked forward to the first day of school with great anticipation. For as far back as I can remember I would be too excited to sleep a wink the night before the big day. I think I slept better the night before our wedding than any night before the first day of school. I loved buying new school supplies - brand new pens and pencils, unmarked notebooks full of so much potential, BINDER TABS. Oh, and the year that Trapper Keepers were all the rage. I LOVED my Trapper Keeper. I wish I could buy one.
I wish I was going back to school next month. I loved the whole atmosphere of "back-to-school" season, especially at UC. The crowds at the bookstores, the excited freshmen scurrying around, block parties, Bearcat football, interesting classes, watching the leaves turn color around campus - I loved it all. I'm hoping to drag out my UC hoodie, get Baby C some Bearcat gear, and hit a Big East football game this fall. Maybe that will quench my thirst for campus life. ** sigh **
Ooh I loved my Trapper Keeper, too.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Go Bearcats!!
I always hated seeing the back to school sales. Ick!! I didn't sleep the night before out of dread. LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree! I want to go back to school too! I love learning and since I've been out. My mind is mush. And I miss making new friends.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you sounded like a loser, just a little nerdy that's all. Makes you all the more loveable and unique. I was just a nervous reck!
