Things I deemed important enough that I just HAD TO HAVE THEM before school started.

• Clothes from American Eagle. My favorite store ever.
• A new bra/lingerie. From Victoria’s Secret and American Eagle.
• Stuff for the dorm room.
• Stuff for school.
• Knee-high Converse sneakers. Wait, what?

In the sneaker store in my local mall, I spotted a gorgeous pair of knee-high Converse sneakers, Chucks. Black and white. Totally awesome. I quickly emailed a picture to Sir, and He told me to try them on. “You could totally pull off a teenage dominant angle. You could wear them to BDSM parties!”

I tried them on. They were fabulous. I bought them. I could imagine myself dominating a boy in them, or taking a public beating in them…

They reminded me of the black Chucks I wore to the NYE party, that everyone commented about. Sir thinks they match my personality very well. I think they are much more suited to me than some big shiny leather boots. Unique, fun, but kind of bad-ass but still cute…

What ‘back to school’ means to me, is back to the routine of classes, studying, partying… and wearing my collar 24/7.

When Sir gave me back my stainless steel, allen-key locking collar, I had a crisis. My roommate for the summer, a sunny, bouncy Californian who wasn’t an ECU student, had met me without the collar on. She met me with my ‘vanilla’ collar, a silver bracelet with a heart on it that Sir bought me in San Francisco. Contract rules state I’m to wear one or the other and I’m not to be without either one of those on my person. So I spent the summer wearing the bracelet, removing the bracelet to wear the collar in Sir’s presence, or when I went to the BDSM club.

I’ve decided to go back to wearing my collar 24/7. This means meeting my roommates with it on, going to classes with it on… and living with my friend with it on. She saw me in it all last semester and never said anything. I’m hoping I won’t have to out myself. Sir tells me to just be casual about it the collar and people won’t notice.

To be honest, I love wearing my collar. I infinitely prefer the collar over the bracelet. I just became paranoid about wearing around my summer roommate.

I hope to be more disciplined in my slave tasks and my daily routines for Sir. I think being away from home (I’m writing this blog post from my house) will help my mindset a lot. I hide everything from my parents, and it’s hard to feel really, really submissive here at home.

In a few weeks, I’ll be back at school, and meeting all those new people with my proper collar on…

Hmm. Maybe I should add stainless steel jewelry cleaner to that shopping list…
