Keeping my head on straight...

I can't stand being disorganized, and yet as the end of this semester is rapidly approaching I'm finding myself getting sloppier and sloppier. For example, I typically organize my class notes into their respective binders at least once/per week if not more often and I haven't done that in about two weeks. I'm also not caring quite so much at the moment about the dust on this desk even though it's not that bad--it's only been 2 weeks since I've dusted, but usually it would drive me crazy! Dishes aren't getting done in the timely manner that is characteristic of me. I've haven't been writing everything into my day-planner lately, which is really dangerous at a time like this (thus far I don't think I've forgotten anything important). The end of this semester is going very well and I feel as though I have a handle on assignments...but my lack of control at the moment is bugging me (though strangely enough, it's not bugging me enough to motivate me to get my butt in gear). Perhaps I have finally learned to let go of things that I can deal with later and focus on what really needs to get done now so as to not lose my mind. I guess that's a good thing.

Letting go and giving up control has been a lesson that I need to learn in my spiritual life as well. I'm beginning to see that just because I don't have all my ducks lined up in a row the way I would ideally want them to be doesn't mean that they will all sink. I know disorganized notes and dusty furniture isn't really that big a deal, but I need to start somewhere, right?

However, with that said, do you know what I'll be doing the first couple days after classes are done? Cleaning and organizing this place from top to bottom!
