how i miss thee

this is my first september in 16 years without formal education. now i guess, its informal education, something ive been doing half of the time i was in school. its kind of learning the things you really dont need to know but maybe it will be useful in the future. trivial things. but i miss it, the counting down of the days, the buying school supplies that youll never ever use, the packing lunches, packing bags and the looking fo'ward to seeing old faces after a long and stress free summer. but all that is gone to me, and to my colleagues who now must deal just as our predecessors , our upperclassmen have had to deal with, the job market, the ever growing loom of compounded interest as our loan payments are due the first of last of every month and we continue to create invisible shackles for ourselves. interest my friends is a very interesting beast.
since school has been out, i cant say ive been learning too much but i have in my own opinion, have started to enjoy life more fully and have put some things aside such as finding a source of income, and job security. i need to go buy some kites and fly them.
