I had received a message from my santa a while ago, saying that she found something awesome but it was on backorder till early August. I replied saying that I didn't mind waiting, but the choice was ultimately her's. So I was surprised to get an email the other day saying my gift was on its way!

Today when I checked my mail, there it was. I knew it had to be my gift since there was no return address. I ran inside, grabbed my camera, and began opening it up.

Once open I found it was nicely wrapped in tissue paper. Just like a real present! So I pulled it out of the box and found an envelope! A letter too! The letter mentioned that the contents of the box were school supplies for the next year at college, and that my santa had decided to wait and send the backordered gift once it was available. The anticipation!

I pulled back the tissue paper to see what supplies I had received. Of course there were pens, which is great since I always seem to lose mine! Next I found a pack of highlighters! With so many colors to choose from! How did my santa know that I love color coding everything? I seriously go through a pack just like it every school year! There was also a set of index cards on two metal rings. Index cards are always useful, and while I always wanted the ringed ones, I never shelled out the money for them since I already have a huge supply of loose index cards. But these will be well used (since I always lose my index cards too...) And last, but not least, a notebook with the cutest owl on the front! A college student can NEVER have enough notebooks!

With classes coming up soon, the supplies are much appreciated. And I look forward for the rest of my surprise sometime next month :D

Thanks Linzer3!

UPDATE: The other package has arrived and it contained a camera lens mug! Now, I'm not sure I will use it for coffee, seeing as how the lid just sets on top and I'm afraid I'll ruin it, but I can always use it to hold supplies on my desk at home! And as a college student...I have lots of supplies that I need to keep in one spot :)
