I've never not been in school. (I know, I know, grammar check needed!)
From elementary school, through high school, university, teacher's college and now into my sixth year of teaching, I've always experienced the excitement of early September and school approaching, even more so than the actual new year anticipation in January.
September has always been a time of 'new beginnings' for me. New classes of study or new classes to teach. The air is crisp and alive (except for today), a few new items of clothing are purchased (not to mention the countless new school supplies!), goals are set, re-connections with colleagues are made and the count down resumes until the big day.... the first day of school.
SO, although almost three months earlier than the calendar says.... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! May 2010/2011 be a great one!
My new (school) year's resolution for 2010/2011 is to try not to lose my work keys on a weekly basis!

P.S. (Is it bedtime yet? I'm wiped!)
I love all your posts and loved the Juice Bag story again! Congrats on the beginning of another amazing school year:)
