Back to School -- Eeeek!

Man, this going-to-work thing is hard.  And no one is making my bed  and laying out food choices anymore.

Oh, yeah, this is what life is really like, huh?  

How easy it is to fall into a spoiled way of life, even in only a few weeks. It gives me, in a creepy way, a little understanding of those plantation owners who grew enormously wealthy from the labor of their "property."  Maybe they said to themselves "hmm, this makes me uncomfortable when I think about it...so I just won't think about it. What's for lunch? Think I'll read some Greek poetry. Tra la."  

There's a good deal of enjoyment in that lifestyle but little real joy, I think. 

More later; off to school.
