school is quietly slipping near

So another school year is coming up. It is about this time of year that my anxiety level increases about three fold. I don’t know why; you would think after fifteen plus years of schooling I would have it down and it would have stopped bothering. But nah, I still get wonderfully nervous, coming to a peak the night before. I will lay down a good early hour in hopes of getting a good night’s sleep before the first day; unfortunately I will lay there for hours thinking about all kinds of stupid things relating to school.
I’ll let you in on a little secret, I’ll still probably lay out my clothes for that first day. Have everything I’ll need in just the right place, ready for that big day. My mom used to make a nice breakfast on the first day; I probably won’t get that this year unfortunately. It will be oatmeal and coffee for me this year. Because all I need to do is drink something caffeinated to give me that extra little kick of jitters.
