Last First

I realized just this morning:

Today is my last first day of school.

First day of kindergarten. I have no memory of the shark backpack, but it's totally rockin.


Well, that might not be entirely true if I ever follow through on the linguistics MA dream, or the JD dream (DON'T TELL GRANDPA NELS), or the PhD in literature and linguistics dream. (How many letters do you have behind your name?) Regardless, it's my last first day in the foreseeable future. And the weird thing is, it's not weird.

I'm sure it will be next September, when instead of planning my schedule around full time work and full time school and setting alarms so I don't forget I have class at 4:00 and have to leave earlier than normal I'll just be heading to an office and that's it. But I'll deal with that then.

Anyway. Off to Magazine Design and Production, looking slightly different than my first first day.

  1. I MISS SCHOOL! Sometimes, and I think if money were no object I would have infinite letters behind my name!
