The beginning of the end.

Today was my last first day of school.
Ever.
I had mixed feelings.
I am kind of getting tired of taking classes all the time. Summer has been so so nice.
But I don't know what to do with myself if I'm not in school. That's all I've done for the past 19 years. What am I going to do when I'm done with this year? Get a job? Well, I guess I'll have to, because I have no intention of going back for more (ValPal, I support your PhD-ing, but I want none of it).
Several people told me to make sure I took a picture on my last first day. I did. But let me be clear about 1 thing: this picture is very inaccurate because I took it after I came home rather than before I left. 7:45am is way too early to take a back to school picture, especially when I would have to find somewhere to set it up with the self-timer. No way. Not this morning. Unless you were wanting a picture of me scowling on my way out the door. 8:00 class and I don't get along.I kind of wish I had my first ever first day of school pic. I probably would have been pretty darn cute, chubby knees and all.

***Update*** Here it is! My first first day of school. Chubby knees and all.

Love the picture. Mom probably has your first first day of school pic somewhere, she could probably put it up on facebook for you. :) And chubby knees are the next big thing. We're just ahead of the curve.
