First Day of School, for everyone else

For the first time in 18 years, today I will not be donning my new strategically matched school clothes.  I will not be strapping on a fully stocked new Jansport, complete with crisp college-ruled notebook paper, glossy labeled folders and cedar-scented unsharpened number two pencils.  Nope. Today is the first day of school for most college kids in the state but not for me.   Being left out of the excitment just leaves me more eager for that coveted first day at work when I can trade a backpack for a laptop bag, flip flops and jeans for business casual and classmates for co-workers.  I know it’s right around the corner.
