NATCHEZ &8212; &8220;Uggh!&8221; Adams County Christian School first-grader Olivia Grubbs said as she flipped her head back in frustration Monday afternoon.

For some the first day of school can be the hardest day of the year.

For Grubbs, the first-grade meant new rules, new math, recess after lunch and no nap.

So when it came time to color in her apple with a red crayon, she had enough.

&8220;My hand hurts,&8221; Grubbs said after only coloring about a third of her assignment. &8220;It&8217;s going to break off.&8221;

The first-grade for Grubbs and her classmates meant no going to the bathroom when they wanted. Now they had to wait.

And yes they had to do math. No they couldn&8217;t get a drink of water and yes they had to pay attention.

&8220;This is way harder than kindergarten,&8221; Grubbs said.

But just as the day seemed to get harder, recess came and the difficulties of the day disappeared in the dust of the playground.
