Fresh Starts

It isn't fall yet, by any measure, but it is AUGUST now. And you know what that means...

• Thinking about what classes to register for in the fall


• Back to school shopping (although I've spent SO much money this summer that I'm going to go easy on this one)


• New academic-year planners (!!!)

I just got myself a new planner and I totally dig these moments. There's nothing like the feeling of a clean calendar into which you can pencil down upcoming weekend trips, concerts, birthdays (in the vain hope that THIS year I will get cards sent out on time), etc etc...
