Alas...summer is over, and it's back to school. Or work. Or a new season of According To Jim.

Either way, no one is happy about any of this.

So in the spirit of every lazy teacher's first September assignment...we bring you CBC Radio3's version of "How I Spent My Summer Vacation."

In this episode: The first video installment of host Lisa Christiansen's radio column The Lisa Retort, where she laments vacation's end; Grant Lawrence takes singer Jill Barber boating on the Yukon River during the Dawson City Music Festival; and Mother Mother's surf-and-sun summer video for "Touch Up."

Welcome back. And may the bullies be kind this semester.
