The Great Bedroom Theory

The Annual Work Filing Festival is complete. I’m really excited about the idea of getting an inbox for my room. You know, those document trays that you can stack on top of each other. I’ll label one ‘Urgent’, another ‘Less Urgent’, then maybe ‘Ancient History’. I love storage solutions! (This explains why I can wander around for hours in Ikea and Officworks.)

Recently, I’ve spent time examining other people’s bedrooms. You can learn a lot about people’s interests, activities and personalities from their bedrooms. In fact, I wrote about this for a Year 10 English folio piece. It was ‘The Great Bedroom Theory’.

Maybe I will create a bedroom meme.

Pink (not my fault but too lazy to repaint)

White. Hanging light of pathetic wattage.

Huge wooden desk, polished and stained my me and dad

No chairs (I don’t actually study in my room)

A step ladder, so that I can reach the top shelves of my wardrobe

Small bookcase

Chest of drawers

Built into the wall, sliding mirror doors

On my walls

Framed photos of lightning

Collage of high school photos

Black and white photo of me in period dress

On my bookshelf

Non-fiction books about environmentalism, economics, skating, food and restaurants, engineering

Hardly any fiction — some fantasy and science-fiction

Lots of humour — the Far Side, Worst Case Scenario Handbook

Film soundtracks

Dance music

Many burned CDs

Right now, neat and organised.

Usually, clothes hung around everywhere, piles of paper on the desk.

    I’m reposting this comment because I accidently hadn’t reached December yet, so this is in your last entry for November!
    ====================
    Hi Joan, I don’t know if you still remember or not, but I found my way from Jason’s blog, which I found from Greg Tan’s which I discovered at Kenneth Hsieh’s birthday… etc etc. ^_^

    I read your whole blog in an hour or so. Very interesting, you write much better than I do ^_~
    But I’d have to say I much MUCH prefer http://www.livejournal.com this is a bit too simple for my liking!

    Anyway, have fun the rest of the holidays just thought I’d pop by and say hi…
    ====================
    Also wanted to say [now that I’ve finished December] that I also wanted to go through uni with all HDs, BUT I managed very low Ds for two EASY subjects last semester, so the pressure is off for this semester where I don’t expect much for the final year group project ^_~ (But for the record I still scored 3 HDs for my other subjects yay!)
    The pressure really got to me sometimes and the disappointment was so great last semester… *sigh*
