Although I didn't think about it then, last year was my last first day of school. For a while anyway.
My first first day of school was whenever I started preschool, at age 3 or 4. I went to college right after high school. I went to grad school right after college, and I started working at a college right after grad school. After I resigned from my job last year, I kept working until my replacement was hired at the beginning of October.
So this year I was a tiny bit sad about not going "back to school" for the first time. It will be a few years before I am involved in that again. But I have to say, I was not sad about sleeping in until 8:15 yesterday (thanks to Theo's complete lack of a nap the day before due to our incessant Labor Day partying). Now that is the way to start off the first day of school.

I remember being a tiny bit sad when Harry went off to grad school - and I went to work - at least my job was at the university.
I love being in school myself - taking classes - the working part is not so exciting.
But it's a job - and a good one - and has lots of days off - my kind of job!
But I look forward to taking more classes someday!
At least you can still do back to school haircuts...almost as fun!!!
