jumper

There are a few things they don't tell you until you become an upperclassman about college.

One:
You have less and less finals. I'm not sure if this is just the degree I'm going for, or if having all/most of the University requirements finished yields this.  Anyway, I am so happy about having only one and a half finals in May.  I say half because the second one is optional and for those who either missed a test or want to drop a bad test grade.  Since this is in science I'll probably be taking it.  If you don't know this my brain cannot take in math and sometimes science.  It has been frustrating me since age five. 

Two:
That they finally start teaching you the good stuff, the fun stuff, the practical stuff.  Case in point, my soror who is an elementary education major had an entire lesson on what to wear in the classroom.  Hello, that is so practical.  The professor showed slides of super models traipsing down the runway and said, "now they look pretty, but those clothes are not very conducive to the learning environment."  She then showed how to make sure your cleavage is under control, but doing a front check in the mirror, and doing the same with your bum.  I am laughing so hard over this, especially as I start to think about what teachers wore when I was younger...

Then my roomie pipes in: "jumpers"

But I then am on another train of thought.  Did you know that jumpers are back now? I remember when the denim, a-line ones were really popular (1996?) I was ten years old and had one for school.  Those were pretty sad fashion times for me, but the jumpers now are really, really cute.  I want one.  Check it out:

Woah, what if you wore that to class?!?

Personally, I think they are really cute! I like the black one above. And you would look darling in anything with your tiny little frame :)

The black one above reminds me of a cute black jumper I owned my senior year of high school - 1996, no less :). I should find a picture and show you - he he! Fun memories.

And I agree. I remember thinking my last year of college, "Oh, wow, this will actually help me!" I was an Elem. Ed major and up until then it was just a mishmash of random subjects, but at the end, they finally taught us how to teach.

We have a serious culture clash here! Jumper to me is like a sweater those I want to say are called pinafore dresses? Could be so wrong though! I think they are quite cute though.
