For most of the semester I've been doing my homework at home, resisting the natural distractions of the library. However, since the semester is moving toward its conclusion and paperwriting time is heavy upon me, I've decided to move into my study space in the library. I'm just using too many books to be hauling them back and forth. They're nice spaces, but mine looks too organized, complete with a box of tissues. So, taking the lead from one of my "neighbors" in the library I decided to mess it up a bit, leave the books all scattered around, rather than piled neatly, throw an extra pair of shoes under the desk and a sweather on the desk shelf.
It doesn't work for me. I feel claustraphobic and can't find anything. My "neighbor" on the other hand, as cluttered as his space may be, is way ahead of schedule and onto other things. Maybe I could learn something from him.
