It's back to school this week for us here at the University of Akron, and day two has just finished for me.  I have now officially been to all of my classes, and I'm pretty excited about all of them.  It's a double-edged sword as we get back into the swing of things; I'm definitely ready to get back to work, excited and hungry to learn, but also bummed that summer is over.  It's back to the hard kept schedules, and classrooms, and goodbye to the late nights and lazy mornings (kinda).   It's not all bad though, not bad by any means really, just another step in the process and a new day for discovery.

    So here's to optimism and the start to what will hopefully prove to be a great year! Best of luck to the rest of you out there, hope your start goes as well as mine has! 

Cheers!
