So I just realized I have an emormous amount of books that are just piling up in all corners of the house.
I was searching for this math text book that I used in teachers college a few years ago. I was going to let my boyfriend borrow it for some upcoming aptitude test he's going to have to take and thought it would be a good studying tool for some basic algebra and what not.
Anyways, after searching high and low in my parents house I could not find it. I was sure that I had packed it away with four huge plastic bins I got from wal-mart that were sitting in the basement. I remember strategically reserving two bins for text books and notebooks from the Faculty of Education and I would cherish them and use them when I needed them again. Perhaps when I wanted to develop my own curricullum for starting a summer school daycare program for grades one to three. Just another one of my savvy business ideas I'm not sure that I'll actually pursue.
But anyways, to my pack rat problem. I could not find this text and even had my mom and boyfriend helping me. They had given up after about 2 minutes and I was breaking out into a sweat running up and down the stairs, searching in the basement, in the upstairs office, my room, then back in the basement again.
Then, I sat down to take a breather, only to remember that I had brought it to my boyfriends apartment a few months back to "brush up" on some math skills like the diligent nerd that I am.
Wow, so all in all, I decided I either need to a) re-organize and relabell all my bins and bookshelves or b)just have a huge book yard sale or c) donate the books I know I'll never read again to some very worthy children or university students on a budget.
Clearly I am a mass of contradications. Maybe I should take a hint from those freegen and begin recycling some of my belongings by letting go of them.
Peace!
