Back after a long Summer

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are going to be friends
Yes I can tell that we are going to be friends

(“We’re Going to be Friends” written by Jack White, sung by Jack Johnson)

Entry 4

Katczinsky said that was a result of their upbringing. It made them stupid. And what Kat said, he had thought about.

- Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet On The Western Front
