Memory overload

So like I said a while ago, I need to clean my room. Mom is for some reason 100% confident that I'll need to take my bookcase to the UofA with me, and the only way to properly do that is to go through ALL the papers and keep only the REAL important ones. But I'm a packrat at heart. So as I was looking thorugh all the scrap papers I had, so many memories came flooding back. And it was weird. I was particularly fond of some of the things I still had from Mr. Colville's class: my vocab sentences, my Trojan Horse play, an essay/story about Noah and the Great Flood I titled "Ark! The Herald Angels sing!" among others.

I threw out finally 80% of my geometry notebook from Mr. Roberts' class as well as 90% of my Junior Spanish Notebook. Those ones felt good. Then I found a bunch of MathCounts worksheets and a complete chronology of my PreCalc/ Trig homework. The fact that I had it so well organized shows how much UHS changes a person, or maybe just life in general. I was such a good little student. What happened?

Then I found this one page that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. It was about 3-armed people playing softball, because if they played baseball they would hit their heads too much. I don't think I tossed it away, but I might've.

It's just so weird, like my bookcase was a time capsule of my academic history since I moved up here to Tucson. and now that I have one and a half garbage bags full of papers from that period, it just feels a little odd. Not empty, per se, but more like unfull.

I'm about half done with my bookcase now, and I still have to go through the area around my desk and my closet. Who knows what other long-lost goodies I will scrounge up? Only time will tell. BUt for the time being my room looks even worse then it did before since I have piles of books and old college brochures strewn about the carpet.

I forgot to mention that as I was cleaning I found the copy of HHG2G (or HG2TG or however you guys say it) that I bought at O' Hare on my way back from MIT. That day I read like 80, 90 pages, and now I'm almost finished with it. This will mark the first time I've read a non-school book from start to finish in quite a while, so it's a start. Is the movie still playing anywhere, and if so does it go beyond the first book so I'd have to invest in more literature?

And as for my continuing struggles of the college major, I've been looking into a major in Engineering mathematics w/ minors in Econ and Psychology. And I was freaking out about choosing between 4 colleges! NOw I have a much larger number of possibilities and it seems like they're all drops of water, interchanging and constantly moving between the surface and the bottom.

All of my APUSH historian articles are in the trash. !hallelujah! And check out the Foo FIghters' "Best of You" video if you get the chance. It's cool weird, like mega sensory overload. The balloons made me feel like crying. Cursed balloons. Now I've never liked balloons my entire life; I dread them more than I enjoy them cuz I'm always afraid that they're gonna pop for some reason and make that noise thta hurts my ears, so I try and avoid them whenever possible, but just seeing that whole group of them floating off, with no direction, with no way to fight, just each other... Crap I feel like watching the li'l brudder show now or just watching the sbemail that started it.
