Nostalgia

Its that time of year again!

Back to school!

You know when you've hit it because Staples has everything on sale. Target starts advertising "back to school clothes"...in July. Kids start getting loopy and giddy with joy over back to school shopping. Summer romances start coming to a winding halt. People begin to *try* making a crazy summer pattern into a schedule of normality. The vacations begin to end and you see familiar faces more often than not.

And that's when it hit me. SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER! Oh, the agony...the absolute defeat. The pessimist in me assumes an attitude. Summer isn't over until I say it is! Why, I didn't get to do half of the things I wanted to this summer!

Well, school started yesterday...and there was nothing I could do to stop it. So, I decided to sit in a corner and pout.

.......

....Okay, so I didn't do that.

But I wanted to.

Oh, how I wanted to!

However, despite my absolute reluctance to admit that summer was over, I began to think back to last year. I don't know why I go through this every year. The whole "I wish summer would last forever but when's school gonna start?" thing. I had a great time at school last year! Meeting new friends, learning new things, fighting tooth and nail for a parking spot (that was rightfully MINE!), and staying up until 4am to finish homework!

*sigh*

Webster defines nostalgia as: "A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past." I'm still so torn! This week has been tough, but exciting! I'm anxious to see what the outcome is! I'm taking 15 units and working...so we'll see how it goes.

Things I'm really going to miss:

Surfing

Sleeping in

Staying up late

And that's about it

*points up* Oh, look...I made a pyramid. 

Enough with the ADHD.

I miss the time when life was simple. When all you had to worry about was what kind of sandwich mom was making for lunch and who you were going to sit next to in class. Now I'm worrying about financial aid and whether or not I have my fees paid, my classes added, and the correct add codes for each class.

Oh, to be 6 again...
