My parents always took the first-day-of-school picture. I did not like this very much; thus I’m pouting or forcing a smile in most of these photos. Now I’m at the end of the road — a senior in college. Graduate school, if it is indeed in my future, should not come for yeras. This is my last first day of school.
Looking at my schedule yesterday, I realized my last first day will actually be rather difficult for someone a bit out of shape. My classes:
- Strength and Conditioning (my last general requirement to be fulfilled — a gym class)
- Jazz class
- Shakespeare (the class with the largest textbook I’ve ever purchased for college — the complete annotated works)
- Ballet technique
- Modern class
- Pas de Deux (or partnering)
This last day seems like it will be too busy for much nostalgia. Good luck to all new students entering college, all high school seniors beginning their last year, and all college seniors faced with the prospect of Real Life. See you on the flip side!
