So today is Justin's first day of school for the fall semester, and can I just say, this is the first time in living memory that I have not been going back to school. 

I'm seriously having an out-of-body experience. I think I'm in denial.

I love sitting in a class for the first time, going over the course topics. Cracking open a book that still has that new book smell. You know what I mean; the smell of knowledge that only comes from a new textbook, you almost can feel yourself getting smarter just by smelling the thing.

Ok, maybe not. But still. 
I love learning. I think I'm going to miss school.

ps. Can I just tell you how much I am loving pleats?! SO MUCH? (I only yell at you viraly when it is really, really true)

Don't forget, today is the last day to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY. (goodness, so much shouting going on in this post)

I love the new book smell too! I love it way more than the new car smell- priorities, I guess. :) You know what's funny? I've been out of school for 3 years, and now I'm heading back to grad school (orientation is THIS Thursday). I can't believe it. I'm going to get reacquainted with that new book, fill-me-up-with-knowledge, smell, and I'm all a-jitter with excitement and nerves.

I'll never miss school, but I will miss the new textbook smell you refer to. Oh, and the brand-new, freshly-sharpened pencils and, of course, the clean, white notebook pages. Gotta focus on some good, right? P.S. Those pleats are definitely working for you!
