It's no secret that I'm a packrat. I have a hard time throwing things away, so my specialty has become the act of moving around things so that they fit better. There are few times where I find myself in a detached state, and those are the times that I try to drive myself to clean, asking myself, "Do I really need this?" and telling myself, "You won't really look at this in the future." The reality is that there are so many things that I'm keeping for sentimental value, to look back upon in the future... but why am I so concerned about preserving the present for the future, which is uncertain and "far away"?
Nevertheless, I tried to do some cleaning today, on my laptop, out of not liking having the documents folder so heavily cluttered. I didn't even try to clean the pictures folder yet. So far all I've accomplished has been the cleaning of one of my USB drives, upon which I have left all of my high school work upon. It's actually surprised me how full it is -- thus, the need for cleaning. It kind of stunk to have to keep deleting all the duplicates. It also seems I'm still not quite ready to let some things go (I mean, will I really go back and do that worksheet of practice problems?). It's so silly, but at least I did my best by organizing everything neatly into folders. ^^;;
I also washed my pair of sneakers. Shoelaces are the worst! I really want to buy some Jack Purcells soon (well, I should try to find if I like them in real life and not just how they look on the internet first, eh?).
I've got to tackle the photos and my room soon, 'cause it'll be back to the dorms in less than two weeks! It seems Frear will have less of an open feeling of storage space, so I think I'll have to learn to hold on to things less and live "minimalistically" (made up word?). That meaning, I'm going to eat, study, limit computer time, and sleep, sleep, sleep. Lack of proper eating and sleeping habits probably ruined me last year, so things have got to change!
Off to refuel! Laters.
