Live and Learn and that's all!

Today was the first day of public school for most of South Carolina i think. Today Wal-Mart is virtually empty, new clothes can now be warn, repuations are formed for both students and teachers. blah.

Courtney Blake said something profound last night that brought me to a sigh of relief. She said "this is the first time i havent gone back to school since i was 2!" Let's think about that for a second, we who have graduated from the collegiate level. Half of me really misses the rush of the first day of school/class. Seeing all my friends and goofing off because class was boring and pointless. The more dominant half of me hates school with a passion and internally celebrated today and the freedom I now possess as a bachelor of science. The most scary thing about being at this point in life, besides the "real world" factor is that now I have to make what we call an effort to learn. I have to voluntarily pick up a book and read it. The fun part is that that book is subject to my choosing. I can freely learn in the subjects I want to learn like surfing and golf and camping and no one will grade me on it.
