Thank god.
The semester is over, and I have a month to waste my evenings in IRC and watching TV. It’s very strange not having any class work hovering over me, waiting for me to tackle it at the last minute, same as I do everything else.
My desk is an atrocious mess, though. This could explain why I spent hardly any time at it this semester. Well, that and the part where I did less than twenty math problems outside of class this semester. 
(I know, I’m shocked I’m going to pass, as well.) I do have plans to clear of the desk before Christmas, considering it’s at our house this year, and my relatives arn’t shy about wandering into bedrooms–especially my cousins.
The biggest task in front of me, is the massive amount of paperwork I have to scan in. I’m a packrat, and I like to keep all my old work, just in case I need it again. I know, everyone’s thinking “what on earth would you need old papers for,” but it makes sense for me. I am sure that one day, I will end up writing a repeat of some of the papers I’ve already done, and it makes sense to keep them so I don’t have to start all over from scratch. And, well, the math work comes in handy. I spend more time studying out of my begining Algebra notebook this semester than I did out of the notes I took in class.
Are you tired of hearing about my desk? I’m tired of thinking about it. I just ignore it, a large 9 square foot sinkhole in the corner of my room. I’m lucky if I can even find anything on it these days.
Maybe if I had desk drawers, I wouldn’t have this problem. But, then again, I’d just be complaining about my messy desk drawers then.

Why would you ever need your old papers? Why in case a friend of yours takes the same course!
Well yeah, there’s that too… But I always give out the wrong answers, because seriously? If I did all that work, so do you. :p
