"Good morning, SE readers! School is back in session. Ready for another semester of torturous AP classes, grueling Mandarin tutoring sessions, and our usual social activities?
The holiday buzz is trickling down and the new year's festivities are coming to a halt. Everyone knows classes started weeks ago, but a handful of students, the wealthiest of the bunch, take extended vacations and routinely head home a week or two late.
By now, the last of the family jets have retired for the season as these lucky few returned from their penthouses in Miami, châteaus in Paris, and water-front villas in Belize. Bye-bye sunsets in the Amalfi coast, Roman gelato, and cute Italian boys - hello pre-calc homework!
At the city's most elite private school, Shanghai International Academy Pudong, the students have traded their bikinis for Burberry trench coats and mimosas for white chocolate mochas. What's on the menu for today? Look at my latest posts, my most recent one being this early AM.
All I know is that with Dakota Winslow and Gabriel Salvatore breaking up, Lennox Richmond walking a show for one of China's top designers tonight, and new girl, Natasha Kauffman, arriving in town, it will surely shake up this week's SIAP Elite ratings.
Fortunately, the party won't be over for too long. Because next week it's Chinese New Year! Another week-long break for us. How blessed are we to live in this part of the world?
Stay warm, SE readers."
