I was talking to a friend of mine in Ohio about the coming school year, and he informed me that where he lives, and where he'll be attending university (in South Carolina), the fall term starts at the end of August.
Today, I was reading this story on Barely Legal: The Blog, which pointed to the fact that school started August 21st.
Dude, what's up with that? I don't have to be back in class until after Labour Day, but those crazy Americans start going to school during the summer! Suckers!
