The school year just started!
Yay! (Sarcasm)
Share your first day experiences / troubles here. Just for fun ;D
Sorry E, but I had to change the title!
Collage? >:-)
I'm not in any of those, but my first day experience is TRAFFIC Jam. I live just up the block from the high school.
They are resurfacing the road and it is a nightmare.
This is my first semester officially out of school. Now I need to work on getting a license and job. Hearing the school buses this morning was kind of cool, and I kind of miss being in highschool....one class in particular (NJROTC), despite me hating high school overall.

I was expecting pictures pitchers...
Fixed that for you! ;D
Had no trouble finding parking, but I stupidly left my roster at home and had to find a computer on campus. Then, I realized that I had left the textbook at home...good thing we don't use it on the first day, but I do like to show students what it looks like.
The opening activities weren't as successful as usual because the class seems shy or passive...well, that will change.
One of my students is gay. I pegged him before he came out to me, but it's nice that he came out.
We really need a gay icon in the smilies!

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
I still have a week off.
One more week to slack off, live without motivation and be ashamed of my laziness and my dirty apartment. Care to trade?
(Seriously, a holiday when you're alone and lonely and have no willpower when alone is just sad.)
Anyhow, next Monday is my first school day as a girl, including my coming-out to my classmates. I'm looking forward to it. Even though it'll be really embarrassing in the beginning.

Nah it will be fun!
OK I came out in the workplace but the first day I came out I got so many hugs and congratulations etc I didn't get any work done!

Glad the skooling was so sucksesful
Law changed and schools here won't start until after Labor day. Such a stupid law.
For what its worth, I'm in school everyday, all year long.
I'm making the switch from a regular therapist to a gender therapist (found one; emailed her; phone consultation tonight; first session comes next!) so I've been reflecting a lot on my life to organize my thoughts. High school was an interesting time for me.
I got kicked out of school in the 10th grade. Repeated at another school the next year and just barely passed with the help of my girlfriend, who wouldn't let me skip class or get into trouble. She was a good influence on me! Unfortunately I got kicked out of that school the next year. Repeated 11th grade at another school and got myself expelled from that one too.
My parents finally gave up on me. I was a 19 year old drop out and I knew I had to graduate. If I do nothing else with my life, I at least had to finish high school. So without my parents help (or knowledge) I visited a private school that prides itself on helping out kids like me. And true to their word, they put up with my crap and wouldn't give up on me. I'm proud to say I graduated on the honor role, and at the graduation ceremony I received a medal from the headmaster for "most improved student." That was a surprise! :D
Unfortunately I had a major break down and dropped out of college my freshman year. It's the little victories though. Once I get my GD sorted out I plan to go back to college. It's never too late to get an education. :)
oh man.. I'm still in my summer quarter (weird school) GAH FINALS WEEK!!! I shouldn't be procrastinating on here.
oh grad school... So I guess I've done all of the above..
I remember my first day of kindergarten, in 1961.
When it was play time, I played neither with the boys nor the girls. Instead, I gathered up the wooden blocks and built a harbor with several different types of ships.
Omens of things to come! Lordy, I am a weird one.

No. No time to go to the store, yet. It's been drizzeling all day since school ended so I couldnt get there.
Wait..... First I would have to figure out where the nearest JC Penny's is or TJmax or something.
bleh first day back at school and already I can't wait for it to be over. Three more years of this is going to drive me insane. But hey at least I can talk to y'all and not have to worry about stupid people.
Heh--
School starts the day after labor day for me, but I'm looking forward to finally correcting people for my pronouns, name, etc.
*Sigh* But first, I've got to finish summer work. *Scribbles away*
Summer work. As in, summer homework? o.o I didn't know that existed outside Japan.

It does, unfortunately. English classes get summer reading, and some advanced courses will doll out prep work.
I've just got AP Lang (and we don't have to follow the normal reading list ^^) and AP Bio, which I've still got to do a graph for. :P
I didnt go back, im not returning till im done transitioning.
