back to school shopping....at 21

my stationary....amazing animal print pens (love the cheetah)

my gadget....new speakers for blasting caribbean music (so i feel at home)

in my lunch box....thanks dad such a great sending off pressie

my uniform....another pressie from dads lulu lemon leggins a winter staple in my mind

so i am back to school, settled in and unpacked finally. for a change my dad was here to drop me at school as it is my last year and we went and did a last year sendoff shop and boy did i get lucky. we got all my school supplies and more! we did a little damage at the supermarket as well so i am fully stocked with fresh fruit and veg, two packs of diet coke (obviously) and lots and lots of toilet paper. i can't believe thursday will be my last first day of school ever ( unless i do that master i am contemplating...hmmmm). such a scary thought! i have had a first day of school every year for 19 years! that's a super long time. 

anyone else preparing for the first day of school?? 

what i am going to miss about home.....

this little boy is going to be so big at christmas...will miss him tons

cooking meals at home 

these two rascals are also going to be huge

the weather....bright sunny days

my crazy family especially the cousins

good ole pops

and of course friends 

i am off to today! 4 1/2 months of summer at home has come and gone and it is time to say goodbye to all the things i have to leave behind until christmas. it is always bitter sweet but i am trying to focus on the fact that it is my last and final time leaving for school in september. on one hand it is always hard to say goodbye to everyone and pack up your little life in one suitcase for another year of studies. but on the other hand i am excited to go back to see great housemates, start my fall shopping and get this final year of school started! 

goodbye barbados see you soon for an amazing christmas xxxx

how to love from a far

etsy pillow

boyfriend and i have been doing long distance from day one. we were only together a matter of days before he went back to school meaning almost four years of constant skyping, texting, bbming, facebooking, emailing, letter writing (we are fancy sometimes) and telephoning. oh my word, thank goodness for communication in the 21st century. this pillow pretty much sums up my relationship. anyone else out there in a long distance love affair? if you are check out long distance loving an adorable blog about hopeful romantics loving from a far.
