Back to School
Written by Vicky on 16th August 2010I don’t know why we’re so keen to make New Year’s Resolutions in January, to my mind September has always been about new starts and fresh beginnings.
Maybe it’s because I was a September baby, but the month always seems an exciting one to me. Birthday presents aside, it must be to do with nostalgic memories of going back to school armed with a brand new pencil case and shiny new shoes. Neatly writing all my teachers’ names on the front of fresh exercise books and the smell of crisp sheets of unused paper would always fill me with expectation.
As the years have passed I now get a similar feeling from starting an evening class, a new fitness regime or a project at home. The thrill of new possibilities; a better educated, fitter, more streamlined version of me is all within reach before Christmas – or so I like to tell myself!
This September I will be resuming German evening classes (clutching a new pencil case, pen and exercise book) and starting a proper exercise programme at the Aztec Studio - the new Power Tone classes sound just the thing. If I didn’t live in Torquay I’d also be tempted by the ‘Winning with Watercolours’ break at the Toorak Hotel. And I also fancy a new haircut, a revamped autumn wardrobe and an updated kitchen – that’s what September is all about – possibilities, no matter how unlikely!
