The First Two Days of School: Lessons Learned

  • Lesson #1: There are weeks in California when three layers with a scarf and mittens aren't enough. Corollary: I need warmer clothes.
  • Lesson #2: The point of a rolling backpack is defeated in uber rainy, flood-the-side-walk-type weather.
  • Lesson #3: I'm usually the only girl on campus without SOME type of faddish article of clothing/accessory. This semester, it's knee-high leather boots. And the skinny jeans that fit into those boots, for that matter. I'm still trying to decide if I really even WANT knee-high boots.

corollary. I like that. So question - isn't the rolling backpack defeated also when you need to go up stairs? or are you one of those who takes the elevator?

Answer: slightly defeated but not really because I have a big throw-over-the-shoulder purse, so when I pick up the backpack like a briefcase to carry it upstairs, I kind of feel balanced.
After three days, I'm definately still saying that the pros to rolling totally outweigh the cons.

If you get the boots, don't wear them in the rain. (Even though that seems like the perfect time to wear them.) I learned the hard way. I'm hoping that polish will still fix mine.
