A new school year looms over the horizon.
There's growling from the crowd as they read that sentence.
Growling from students, parents, teachers,
and others who ask:
"Why?
Why remind us of such things?
We are still in mid-July.
Let's enjoy Summer a bit more."
And I join with the chorus of growlers, but it's inevitable.
We must begin to prepare for the new school year.
There are those who have been getting prepared all along,
There are those who will procrastinate and pull it through,
There are many of us who end up doing both:
Procrastinate & Prepare.
Time lines and schedules are set with reminders:
"By the end of June, this."
"By the end of July, that."
"By August, ...
the night before, ...
the first day of, ...
by back to school..."
We envision a path,
We develop a roadmap,
We calculate and budget supplies,
We enjoy one last Summer sunrise and sunset.
