Another Great Adventure and School Supplies

Ok, so going back to college isn't THAT big of an adventure. However, as I face Monday (the first day of school) I find myself a bit nervous and excited. I haven't been a student for three years and yet I am experiencing all the same feelings I had when I was in elementary and high school. I have the greatest urge to go school supply shopping. During a recent shopping trip to Target for a mop and sponges (very domestic, I know), I suddenly took a detour and ended up in the school supply section. Before I knew it, I had a backpack, a lunch box, pink erasers, binders, and a plethera of other Back-To-School items. When Josh finally caught up with me in the store and witnessed my potential purchases, he reminded me of one teeny, tiny detail...I am finishing my Bachelors via Distance Education and from the comfort of my own home (possibly from the comfort of my own couch). This minute detail made the vast majority of my purchases obsolete. Also the fact that I am not going into 3rd grade, made my crayola crayons and markers look a bit ridiculous. Needless to say, I put all of my supplies back and went about my business.

I am not going to give up so easily. I am going to be getting a refund on my student loans and Josh and others shouldn't be surprised if I come home with a whole slew of new and exciting school supplies!
