School Days

"School days, school days, back to golden rule days. With reading and writing, arithmetic. Talk to the tune of a hickory stick."

My dad sings this every day during the few weeks before school. It starts to get on your nerves after a while. Then, on the first day he sings this very loudly to wake me up that morning. But I really am excited about school this year. I know it's going to be hard because it's junior year but I've promised myself that I was going to study really hard. I'll be glad to see all my friends too. I don't think I've seen anyone from school over summer because of all my trips. I've really missed them. I'm also glad that I will be able to drive myself this year. I've gained my independence...sort of. So I'm going to start this year off on a good note, and that begins with being excited.
