Stacy Tornado 90 Days from Landing Site

So...I've been thinking about this thing lately called college. Allegheny College really. My dorm room in Walker Annex inside one of the most beautiful buildings on campus, chillin with my room mate Ellen, and above all...fantasizing the possibilities. If you know me, and I'm assuming you do, you know what the one thing is in this world that I enjoy doing the most. Organizing. The possibilities are endless here. I'll be in a new space that is completely void of clutter and mess. Nobody has invaded the space in months and it is mine for the organizing.

The difference between this and organizing my own home is that it's new. My house is so full of clutter, and whenever I attempt to do anything here, my brother, mother and father collectively rampage through and ruin it, so I have given up. My room is reminiscent of a life past, my clutters and a time when I did not enjoy organizing so much.

So here I am stuck in this fantasy. My label maker is burning under my fingertips as I frantically type print and cut the neatly typed labels that shall don my important possessions. The shelves and the under bed containers and the desktop organizers. From packing the van full of my worldly materials to placing them neatly in my room, I plan to defy the college clutter syndrome...and keep Ellen out of it too. This whole new level is waiting to be released, and I am ready to let it out.

For one of the first times ever I am thankful for the problem that has plagued my mind for the past three years...I didn't know that would ever be possible. I just hope it doesn't get out of control.

August 25, 2007 the Tornado Stacy will make landing in Meadville...label maker and all =)
