I posted about going Back to School - now I AM Back to School. Big difference.
The summer has officially ended - I am on my third day of school and it is already in full swing. Which means homework. It is really hard to get back into the school groove. Especially after a long lazy summer, but unfortunately I don't get to pick when I have school so to help myself this year I have decided to get organized.
Anybody who knows me really well is most likely laughing hysterically right now because I am the least organized person in the world, but so far I am doing well. I have all of my books in my locker sorted by class, my pens all write, and my pencils are all sharpened. I think I am off to a good start.
I like to think of the new school year as a clean slate. My mistakes from last year are gone. It is like I am starting a new school except with all of my friends, and I am ready to have fun. (except for homework which I can wait on)
Part of being a Spirited Woman is letting yourself start over. Everyone makes mistakes and even though we can't turn back time we can forgive ourselves and learn from the past. When you are starting a new school year or a new position in a job or even a new day you can start yourself on a clean slate.
