Today is the first day of school for a lot of people. I am not in school anymore. I do not belong to an institution that has a mascot or a newspaper or a student senate. I no longer complain about all the reading I have or all the papers I need to write. I have an abundance of free time. Time. I am killing time right now. I have no one to answer to, no one to grade my performance, no one to make sure I attend.
I think I must be on the outside of a very strange inside joke.
