Mary's thoughts ahead of going back to school
So tomorrow I will don the closest things I could find in my wardrobe to school uniform attire, pack a lunch, put a copy book and pencil case into my little bag, and as though I were 10 again, head to school for the day. I honestly don't really know what to expect because my memories of the typical day in fifth and sixth class are pretty scant at this stage - as Niall frequently likes to point out, 'tis neither today nor yesterday that I was a primary school child. I'm probably most nervous about sitting amongst a group of school kids and feeling self-conscious as hell. Although it will be good to feel tall for a change! I also hope I don't make a holy show of myself by failing to answer some of the most basic English, Irish and Maths questions. Music and Art should be fun though. Tune into Beat Breakfast tomorrow morning to hear how it's all going, and I'll update again.. If I've survived the school yard that is ;-)

Hi. So how did it go? Just now finding the blog. I'll explore, see if I can find out that way.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind I'd like to share a link to a story sharon sent us. It's about her own personal road 'back to school' and I thought you might enjoy it. I hope so anyway.
Here's the link and have a great day.
