First Day of School

Today is Bree's first day as a 3rd grader. She woke up at 5:30 am, and couldn't go back to sleep because she was too excited. We were in school around 7:20am (first bell for flag salute is at 7:45). She played with her friends, and i was chika-chika with Stacy and Brenda, gossipping (sp?) about teachers. Who's in, who's out, who got transferred, who got pregnant, etc.

There are some not-so-good changes at school this year. Instead of the 7:45am to 2:45pm schedule from Mondays thru Thursdays, they adjusted it to 7:40 to 3:00. Why kaya? We really need those 5 extra minutes in the morning. Bree and I are always photo-finish when going to school. I wish they'd give me back the extra 5 minutes.

And then the Friday schedule is so upsetting. Before, on Fridays, their dismissal is at 12:30pm. This year, Friday dismissal is at 2pm. It's almost a whole day affair. Bummer!

Tuition fees went up again. So what else is new.
