The things you find...
Feb. 9th, 2005 11:24 pmwhen you clean out your drawers...
I seriously thought I got rid of most of this stuff when I moved out of home. I guess not.
I'm continuing the recent theme of cleaning and tidying (I lost the information I had from the Dutch Embassy) by attacking the bottom drawer under my desk. Now if I have a piece of paper for any length of time that I want to keep but I don't want on my desk anymore, it ends up in this drawer. At the bottom, there is another box, where I keep things that have lasted even longer, which are even more useless.
Since I hate throwing things out, there are old projects from intermediate (I've decided to keep the one on medievil times and the crusades) about things like the planets, planning a trip overseas for two people, a book report from third form and so on. I generally leave all the certificates alone - they date back as far as 1990, my second year at primary school.
What I'm currently amused at are these goals that I've found:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maudlinrose will know whether or not I succeeded at some of them.
1) Go to the library
2) Write more poetry - show 'She' at the English lit. group
3) Be far more social
4) Do really well in school C.
A lot of the stuff I keep in this drawer, I keep because I can't throw it out and I don't know what else to do with it. Things like old newspaper articles about a friend's accident. Things like the pieces of paper from when I visisted Mel Fisher's Museum in Key West in 1996. That was amazing, but what do I do with the mementos? Papers, prayers and notes from preparing to go on Operation Jerusalem beach mission in 1998. That was really important and special to me, but what do I do with the scraps of paper from it?
The birthday cards, movie tickets and other random scraps of memorabilia from my time in Wellington. I don't want to chuck that stuff out, but I don't necessarily want them to stay there, either. Actually, the easiest thing to sort out is the piles of handwritten fic. I'm going to get a $2 lever arch file and put it all in there.
As for everything else, unless I throw it out, I imagine it will go back in the drawer until the next time I clean it out. And the embassy thing - still haven't seen it.
