I'm not going back to school
I've graduated, and for the first time in all my 25 years that I can remember, I am not going back to school. I didn't think I would miss it, but all of a sudden I find myself craving signing up for fall classes.

All I want to do is go shopping for college ruled, 5-subject, notebooks....maybe some new gel-pens, highlighters, perhaps a new day-planner.

I think I'm going to go stand in the back to school section of my local store.

*sigh*

11. I'm not going back but I still feel that end of summer malaise.
Maybe it's because the kids are going back.
