a blog about
the life of a girl with big dreams
by: marisa du-Long
Welcome to The Posh Poppy!
My name is Marisa Victoria du-Long and this, ladies & gents is my attempt at blogging! It wasn't until my recent acceptance into graduate school in England that I thought of creating my own blog. The idea of being able to share my life do-ings and thoughts on the world-wide web for my friends, family, & future colleagues to see intrigued me and I'm excited to see where it takes me!
What does The Posh Poppy, stand for you ask? Well... It came to me driving down I-5 South towards Grand/ Garnet Ave one day. I wanted a simple, yet original, and super authentic title that included 2 of my favorite places in the world: California & England so, I came up with this- Posh= English slang term meaning very classy/ sophisticated and Poppy= California's state flower. Anyone who knows me, knows that this born and raised girl from California is ready for life's next adventure, and for me that's beginning in Oxford, England. A las! The Posh Poppy was born.
I have many hopes for this blog, the main one being able to express myself in ways I may not show in person. I can't promise that I'll write everyday, but I'll sure do my best. I'm excited to talk about my upcoming travel plans, my progression towards my career goals, as well as my relationships with God, family, and my friends. You can expect to see a decent amount of writing, plenty of random thoughts, lots of lists, and a million and a half pictures. Thanks in advance for any feedback/ comments and of course for stopping by!
Cheers!
