Back To School

Three words children all over the country were dreading at the start of this month. Back To School. These words strike fear into the hearts of even the most academic of kids. New uniform for most, new bags for some, unfortunately the same old school. Getting up at 7am was unheard of for 6 weeks, now it's back with a vengeance. Freezing cold, standing on the bus stop, willing the bus to turn up, quickly. But, you can guarantee, the second you step into the school building, it's as if you've never been away. Back into the swing of things within 5 minutes, and after a few timetable hiccups, we're away. I'm already counting down to the October half-term, it can't ocme quick enough. Then again, June can't come slow enough. More exams. The school, being informative, thought it necessary to say at the start of the year, rather than nearer the end. Well, that's something to work towards, I suppose!
