Let's talk about events from the past.

What was the first day of school like for you when you were a kid?

It always felt like a mix of happiness to see my friends again, dowsed by a fear of homework and boredom.

It was a bit disorienting that first day back, because you were in school, but you weren't really doing any school work. So, to a certain extent, you wished that everyday could be that way.

i always dreaded the thought of having to sorting all of my textbooks for each subject that i had to do. in some school years my parents would either give me the plain notebooks or the huge binders with tabs on the top with each subject labeled on them.

i didn't really get frustrated all that much in thinking about how the first day would go for me so i'd just try and keep my cool

Vaporman perfectly described my feelings.

Also, I miss Trapper Keepers.

Getting used to my locker number was another annoyance.

^ and also trying to get the darned things open half the time

I used one when I first started 6th grade. Yeah, trying to get my Masterlock to work was a lotta fun.

Reminds me of the Charlie Brown special where he runs for class president, and Sally can't get her locker open.

Except I could reach mine.

Study hall and lunch were usually the best times of the day. I spent most of my study hall time drawing comics and goofing off.

I remember trying to wear my trendiest outfit I had on the first day of school.

When I was in high school and junior high I hated all the rules about binders. I liked that there was no P.E. for about 2 weeks.
