Today is the first day of school for University of Maryland students and a few school districts in this area, and classes have already started at University of Georgia and elsewhere. Listening to the news on the radio this morning made me think about my many first days. I really do love going to school (I graduated with about 30 extra credit hours because I am just weird like that), but the most exciting thing for me on the first day of school was the potential for new cute boys. Really, what better motivation to drag yourself out of bed, brush your hair and get to a boring early class than a hot foreign exchange student, lab partner or comparative lit professor? Much better than an attendance policy.

So, in honor of the first day of school, I give you:

He looks scholarly, right? Happy Monday!
