After I came back from visiting family for the holidays, I underwent a massive purging of my apartment. I suppose 'massive' is relative. I made several piles, one for Goodwill, another for the local animal shelter, another for books to sell to a local book vendor that takes more recent publications and another for books to another local store (had to strategize to get the most out of it).
The animal shelter was pleased to recieve the towels and blankets, and I was pleased to be rid of them. There was simply too much clutter for one person to use. Goodwill recieved a box, a laundry hamper and a garbage bag of clothes and bedding from when I used to live in the campus dorms. After all was said and done, I had a lot of space. So I took this opportunity to organize what was left and make my life a lot simpler. I figure this will aid me in my quest to overcome stress.
I am trying to develop better living habits but in the face of a new semester, we shall see how much I accomplish. I've already gotten a better oral hygene regamin started. The dishes continue to be a challenge, but laundry is looking promising. Clean feels so good!
In addition: I got a planner for the first time since high school. So I can write down my assignments and other reminders. I WILL get organized. I used to be extrememly organized until college. Time to stop being a slob!
