Dilemmas in having a clutter free life.

I started my organizing bout yesterday. Cleared out two big boxes. Here's some stuff that I kept:
  • An old grade school trophy, where I was 5th Honorable Mention upon graduation
  • Old letters from pen pals I've lost touch with.
  • Souvenirs (little shot glasses) from my travels back in the late 80s and 90s
  • An old pink porcelain piggy bank
  • A box of little trinkets that I'll sort on another day
  • Some college and graduate school notes and readings
I threw away a lot of my college and graduate school notes, but these ones I wanted to sift through on another day. I even have some of my answers in modern history under Father Leonard back in Ateneo. He passed away several years ago but he was always one of my favorite professors.

I don't think I'm supposed to keep college and graduate school stuff, except if I want a trip down memory lane. The handouts will be out of date already, but there's something comforting about having my notes and graded essays with me. Hmm. Where will I keep these stuff? They are 2 feet high.

I've also decided to sell some of my really nice shoes. I haven't worn most of them except maybe once or twice. Others are already too small for me. Anybody want knee high boots? They're really cool.

I'll post photos later, gotta work now.

You mean what size was I back then, yes? ;-) The boots are 6.5. I'll post photos later. They're really nice. I bought them from Unlisted maybe three to four years ago, but the style is such that it still looks fashionable today.

Yep, 2 feet -- includes essays, and handouts, and my blue books. :)
