I stil quasi-gage my days/years by 'the school year', despite the fact that I haven't been in school for years! However, the majority of my friends have their lives revolving around said schedule: some folks heading off to college, and still others who are the givers of the education.
Rachel runs a preschool, and in her whole revamp of the place she spent hours (if not days researching and deciding upon just the right School Furniture... what an odyssey that was! (this site would have been vrey helpful in that venture: it wide variety, easy interface, and one-stop shopping!)
I always loved to have new School Furniture to sink my self into. I can't wait to set up my own small school setting for my own children's learning experience! *sigh* Someday I will form the young minds of 'mini-me's!
