back to school - i wish!

6 September '99 - September and October are my favorite months. I was completely one of those little 'back to school' people. I loved the brand new fall clothes, the pencils, the paper. I still love to wander places like Office Depot to look at all the cool back to school supplies. Pencil box? Check. Elmer's glue? Check. Little pink erasers? Check. Pencils? Check. The BIG box of Crayolas? Check. The big coup was to find the snazziest little folders to keep all your papers in. If you got there too late, all they would have is scratch and sniff Strawberry Shortcake folders. Whereas, a little "Han Solo" folder would be the ultimate score. Horrible little things, the leftover folders. Oh! And book covers. What a nightmare those things were. I always had a problem sizing them properly. Speaking of nightmares, any other green plastic handle-coated scissor users out there? Being a lefty sucked sometimes. Try using one of those erasable pens with your left hand. Fun stuff. Not only does your ink smear all over the paper, making your writing completely illegible, but you've now got a lovely blue streak all over the side of your hand. It's good stuff. Anyway, I loved this time of year - particularly when the weather started to get chilly at night (more like in October). Fall is definitely my favorite season, though. It's one of the things I miss the most since I've moved out West.
