Everyone is excited the first day. Seeing all your friends again, having new clothes, new school supplies….a year of promise ahead. And then? The first homework assignment and enthusiasm is all gone….
I distinctly recall that the first day of school after Summer vacation and the first day after Christmas break were the only two days in the year when everyone wore a clean shirt.
School days. . .school daze. . .good ol’ golden rule days. . .readin’ and writin’ and ‘rithmetic. . .GAWD, I’m glad they’re over. It’s so much nicer to be old and know everything than to be young and think I know everything. ;)

I don’t recall ever being excited on the first day of school. It was more the feeling of impending doom.
