First day of school :(

It is 7 am, im about to leave to school.... man im so tierd.....

LOL !! Well, my first day was a WRECK ! I was taking my daughter, and her girlfriend to school (first day of 9th grade - high school, the BIGGIE !) and was supposed to be there at 8am, since I volunteered with the PTA to help pass out maps to the 2300 Freshmen that are attending the school this year. Right outside of the school's entrance, we all saw a baby deer stuck in a barbed wire fence ! It was screaming for help, and since I am a bleading heart animal lover (NOT PETA for certain, but you get the idea !) I pulled over to assist, although we were running late due to traffic. Now, BAD idea from the get-go, as my back was in knots, and killing me - almost taking my breath away from pain as it was this morning due to me attempting yard work yesterday, running the weed-whacker ! Well, the poor thing was wedged in the fence so tight, and struggling, screaming for help so bad that there was no chance to free it - although I REALLY tried pulling the wires apart with my hands to free it. A construction truck lumbered past, and a gentleman jumped out, and brought wire snips with him. We cut the fence to pieces, freeing the fawn (awe !) and then it was time to try to stand up Well, I made it to the school - had to withdraw my offer to assist, as I was nearly in tears from being a wuss - I mean from the pain, and left. The fawn had departed by that time, although I had called mergency services regarding the fact that I thought the baby had broken it's own back in the struggle to get free, as it was only crawling on it's front legs when I left it. Emergency services had already dispatched wildlife rescue from a previous caller - I can only hope that the poor little thing is safe and sound now

Well, that was long winded way to say, good luck with school all of those that are retuirning today, and I hope your day goes better than mine started out !

G !

Awww man I really hope the fawn is ok, that would leave me cut up inside until i found out.....

Wow...grade schools have been back in session for several weeks here. University started at the beginning of last week.

I remember the good ole' days when school only went from Labor Day til Memorial Day.

What you did to that fawn is very selfless of you SenKat.

It's always good to help someone/some animal in need... gives a nice sense of satisfaction

Although... very sorry to hear about your back. You should take it easy. :-?

Hope you feel much better soon;

Intresting story

So - how did YOUR first day go ?

G !

You're pretty lucky that you got to start school today. I had to start High School back on the 17th, now THAT was confusing! The worst feeling is walking into school on the first day knowing you have a whole year ahead of you full of homework, projects, and scary teachers. But you get used to it after a few weeks and then you realize it isn't that bad, and if you get an easy/interesting class it can be fun.

All I can really say is when they tell you "School is the best years of your life" they wernt lieing................

Styro --

I presume that you're signed up for OPTICS 101 ;D You can teach the class.

My old physics teacher in high school (1966) wouldn't teach electricity chapters because I was in the class We finally worked together and had a great time. We almost killed all the critters in Biology class next door.

Now THAT'S fun ----
