I remember seeing Jerry on the second or third day, tie untied, sweaty, just obviously wrecked from staying up that long. I don't know how necessary a sacrifice it was, but he seemed heroic. Mostly tired, though.

Exactly the same here in Belgium for me. Except we have no Labour day, school here starts on the 1st of September.
Unlike you, after school, I have been an employee all my life. And the same feeling kept coming back, every 1st of September. Usually I had no vacation before that, but the feeling remained.
This year, at 63, I am retired. This is the first time since I was 4 that the 1st of September does not bring tears in my eyes.
