摘要

Maybe the reason we never keep our new year's resolutions is that we have the start date wrong. There is little that feels new or resolute about January 1, when the days are short, the trees bare and in much of the country people are wrapped in so many layers that no one can tell if they shed that extra holiday weight or not. Surely there is a better time to turn the leaf, scrub your goals, fix what's broken. The Mesopotamians, who invented New Year's about 4,000 years ago, celebrated in March, after the spring equinox; the Egyptians chose September, which remains a natural candidate, since we never lose the memory of the smell of sharp pencils, the crack of new books. But the end of school feels much more like the true end of the year, far more than that strange week of playing with new gadgets and shopping the after-Christmas sales. Teachers say kids go a little crazy in June (honest teachers admit they do as well), caught in a nasty collision of Separation Anxiety and Threshold Anxiety, as they stand in summer's doorway, knowing they're supposed to plunge ea-gerly through but not sure what will happen in all that open space and fresh air and free time.
