cleaning up

With only 3 weeks left of school, it is time for me to start packing up and bring some stuff home. I keep thinking that if i pack up my stuff faster summer would come a little quicker, but I don't think it is working. The only thing I am enjoying about this is cleaning up the clutter. You never realize how much stuff you can really live without until you clean up and see things that you haven't used in a long time. I try to go through things every couple of months to get rid of some stuff that I know I haven't used and put it all down in the basement for my mom's spring garage sale, but some times it is hard to get rid of things. I feel like I might need it later, but like people say "if you haven't used it in 12 months get rid of it". So now that is the rule I follow and it helps keep things clean.
