Back where I belong

I am a student again. I have been since 4:30 yesterday afternoon.

This isn't just a weekend; it's my summer vacation (altogether I do only have a week or so of it). Earlier today I was making plans for winter break. Oh, that brings me back. I'll actually have one of those. Perhaps tomorrow I'm going back-to-school shopping: new pens, notebooks, etc. All fresh and new. My new "job" will be self-improvement: learning.

No more 7-4:30 days. No more commuting. No more wearing ties to work. No more incompetent boss.

Yes, I'll have homework, but also more free time to do it in, and the work I'll be doing will actually be productive; it'll be helping to make me a better, smarter person. I'll have more time to go to the gym. Actually, I'll even have a gym to go to. I'll be interacting with people my own age.

I'm am no longer a government employee, I am now a student. I think it's time to write my congressman and demand that taxes be lowered; I can cite many examples of slack and inefficiency that could be picked up.

After seeing what the "real world" is like, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to go back.
