Even though we're in the dog days of summer, and it's like a million degrees outside, I can still smell the imminent approach of the fall season. When I left for work this morning, it felt like it did when I would stand out and wait for the bus that first week of school. I've been thinking of that scene in You've Got Mail, where Joe Fox says:
Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.
Do kids even know what a freshly sharpened pencil smells like? I'm not a teacher, but there is something about "back to school". It's a fresh start. It's the excitement of learning something new. Of growing, becoming wiser, and seeing old friends.
I've completed my formal schooling some time ago, but I still want to buy school supplies and back to school clothes. I'm a huge dork, and picked up some new colorful pens and marker pens to use at work. Though, I won't let myself use them yet... It's not officially back to school. :)
