remove clutter from my life
Untitled

I made this a personal challenge with a set amount of time, but I don’t really think this is a one time, done, type deal. I believe it’s something that I will need to re-visit, and revise continually.

I cleaned up my room, it’s so much better, but every few days I have to go through and tidy it up again. I still have more clutter I need to deal with, it’s difficult considering how much space my dorm room doesn’t have, heh.

After removing clutter physically, I will move inward.

It’s funny though, cleaning, seriously cleaning, like throwing stuff away (which is something I have problems with…I’m getting better!!!) reorganizing, rearranging, I have found to be very cathartic in it’s own sense. It’s great.



keep a dream journal
YEAH!! I did it.

If you already have an online blog, I think it’s easier to just do it that way. I have terrible handwriting, so I know its easier for me, plus it keeps it all neat, and you can add tags and bold certain things, so it’s easier to go back and compare/contrast later on, if you wish to.

Here’s mine.

Hey, what textbook does your class use? We use this one: http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/myers8e/

and it’s actually a pretty awesome textbook, and not distant and boring to read like most textbooks. And some silly DVD supplement came with it, and every once in a while we’ll watch segments of it in class, and Philip Zimbardo is the commentator/narrator…and it makes me smile becuase he’s one weird/obscure guy.
