Tomorrow, I will go back to school. During the summer holidays [US: vacation], I wrote a list of all the school supplies that I really wanted. And I found everything! Last week, I bought a rucksack which is very trendy at the moment, and I got a new fountain pen and lots of ink cartridges. I also went clothes shopping with my mother. Now, I have beautiful outfits for school! On Monday, I'll be ready for the new school year. I'll see everyone again and I'll discover my new classroom. I can't wait to be (there)!
