School starts in France next week, probably in a lot of other places, too.
It is one of the moments that I most despised every year, no matter which grade I was in, but apparently a lot of people liked returning to school.

 I distinctly remember how every year when I saw store windows filled with displays featuring fake autumn leaves and giant yellow pencils, my stomach would just turn over.

And the back-to-school sales/displays start so early nowadays. There have been back-to-school deals for weeks now! Stores have Halloween things out now. (Do people really buy their bags of Halloween candy in August?!?) I am a teacher so the back-to-school things still affects me now. I start the new school year tomorrow. I am definitely sorry to see summer end. It also makes me start thinking about winter coming -- and our winters are long and cold!  |

My kids still have over a week before they go back to school. I think I have all their supplies now, have to do some last minute school shopping later on this week. livaco, the winters are too long here too. |

In France, there are summer sales until the end of July, and the moment the summer sales have ended, the school supplies fill the stores. I would have been devastated if I had had to put up with an entire month of August of school supplies when I was young.

I only looked forward to going back to school one year and that was when I was 14 and had been on holiday to Italy and had kissed an Italian boy. I was dyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying to tell my friends all about it . Oh and I had a great bag I had got on holiday too. What a big showoff  |

Can you imagine that everybody you know would now be informed by a mass mailing of text messages 5 minutes after the kiss?

I think some of the really efficient young text messengers could and would do it during the kiss.
