Sarah in Shanghai: Christmas Countdown!

So it has been over a year since I posted anything. Ooops. I'm not very good at being consistent, I get obsessed with something for 2 weeks and then I move on but I'm back today. I wonder how long it will be before I post again? Only time will tell as I certainly don't know!

Anyhoo, I'm pretty excited because I have 5 days left at work then I am flying home for christmas! England here I come! I haven't been home for a year so the excitement and anticipation has reached a peak! In this last week of school/before christmas there is always so much to do as well...christmas crafts with my class (which always involves some extra preparation); secret santa shopping, present shopping (which of course I have pretty much left to the last minute); birthday celebrations; christmas parties; report writing (although I am almost finished that); making sure I throw away the perishables, pay my rent/bills etc... so I am feeling a little bit stressed. Although that hasn't stopped me watching 4 episodes of gossip girl, browsing pinterest, getting a vanilla latte and generally lazing about. I haven't even made an effort to wrap or pack anything. As you can see I am procrastinating even further by writing on a blog I have neglected for over a year! It will all come together I am sure. I just need to be organised and make a plan (and then follow that plan!)

Here are some christmassy pictures of what has been happening in the world of Sarah recently...
