First Day of School!

So today is the first day of school!  In some ways it is sad and we loathe the first day of school.  But at the same time it is an exciting time of year!

What is your favorite thing about school starting back up?  Or what is your least favorite thing about school starting back up?  Or maybe you have a story about the first day of school.  Post it in a comment, we'd love to hear.

Most of you know my favorite first day of school story.  I was a freshman in high school, just moved to a new city and it was my first day at a totally new school.  It was a big school too, about 2,000 students.  I knew no one, not one person!  I survived my first three classes but then...lunch!  I walked into the cafeteria where 1,000 students were busily greeting each other and talking about all the fun they had during the summer.  I looked for a seat and found an open spot on the far end of a table where a few girls were sitting.  My hope was to stay out of the way and figured I wouldn't bother them by sitting at the other side of their table.  Unfortunately, as soon as I sat down the girls all stood up, picked their lunch trays up and walked away!  It was the lowest feeling I have ever had!  I don't remember how I survived that day but eventually I made friends and "fit in" to my new school.  But it was the worst first day ever!

I hope you all have a better day today then I did in 1995!
