Good Bye Summer

Since school is about to start, it seems that the entire world has been pumped up to super speed. In my experience with school, it's like the last week and a half before it actually begins is the most frantic time the entire year. I think it trumps the day and after Thanksgiving, AND the week before Christmas when people are still trying to figure out what to send relatives, and then quickly blame the postal service for it's lateness in arrival. Good grief, it has NOT been three months since the last day of school. I suppose the month of summer school helped wast my summer, as well as the month of camps and vacation. Since I've arrived home, there has been exactly two weeks and two days to count until the beginning of school.
Not only that, but various early morning adventures such as peer mediating meetings, doctors' appointments, and aggravating phone calls have accelerated the feeling of summer.
I suppose I should get used to life flying by, seeing as how everybody says "You'll only be young once, so don't waste it!" My question is how are we not supposed to waste our youth when we're stuck in school for nine months, eight hours a day? That's enough time to grow a baby!
Anywho, I suppose I'll go gather my supplies and plan the next month and a half of outfits, merely so I can sleep at night. Cheers.
