Behind the schoolroom door. And should I live
To see his coming forth, a life away,
I know my hope, but do not know its form
Among his teachers have a care of him…—“September, The First Day Of School” | Howard Nemerov

Raisin Monday
lorem
Raisin Monday is traditionally celebrated at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. It typically takes place on the third Monday in November. The event is part of the Raisin Weekend, a long-standing tradition where first-year students (freshers) are “adopted” by older students (academic parents) and engage in various activities and pranks.
