BIG Failures and LITTLE failures

Okay, so that whole January resolution to get more organized.. Failed.

Sort of.

The blog part failed. Because WOAH...  SCHOOL STARTED!!!

So, I haven't posted anything about cleaning or organizing my life.. but here's what I have done:


  • I did ALL of my laundry and went through my clothes to find things to donate to Goodwill. I came up with 2 bags of clothes.
  • I found all of the electronics that are broken or no longer of use to bring to the Recycling Center here in Eagan. 
  • My sister and I took our bags and electronics to Goodwill and the Recycling Center to get rid of all of the clutter and extra "stuff" in our homes.
  • I cleared out my backpack and went through last semester's papers and handouts and filed the few papers I felt should be saved, and I threw away all the ones that I didn't want to keep anymore.

Not quite as BIG a step as I had hoped to take each day, but for starting classes and having my whole
This is Devo, my cat. She's sticking her tongue out at you,
schedule flip upside down this past week.. I'd say it's pretty okay. 

Today, I cleaned my bookshelves (and reorganized them to accommodate my books from last semester and the ones I am not yet using this semester). You see, the problem with being an English Major, is that there are a lot of books. You're probably reading that sentence and thinking... No shit Hannah. Bravo. I'm not complaining that I have to read a lot, because I love that part of my major. The problem is that when the semester ends, I don't want to get rid of any of my books because I like what I've been reading. So, basically, I have ended up with an entire bookshelf worth of books from classes in addition to the books I own for personal reasons. 

I moved all of the DVDs off of my shelf and put them in a shoe box to clear out space for MORE BOOKS! 

In ten years, I'll be on the TV show Hoarders because I have a book-problem. 

Always,
