Corn Flakes: Fall Sports Are Getting Closer

We are officially to the part of summer where I really have no idea what day it is. Man do I enjoy it, but then I look at the calendar and see that I have less than a month before I am back in school and that’s going to hang over me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be excited to go back and meet my new students, but it is nice not to have to go anywhere most days.

I guess the good news is that football and volleyball are that much closer then too.

Here are your flakes.
