Flailing through the Archives

Today I will be discussing things you don’t want to find in your files.

1.) Mold.

2.) Two year old Cinnamon Rolls

3.) A File labeled Uganda, that has nothing on Uganda, or even Africa for that matter.

4.) Old nasal excretions.

5.) Blood stains.

Anything to add?

I got my course assignments for the fall, and after the initial shock of   “OMGI’MGOINGTOGRADSCHOOLWILLDIE,” I have calmed down sufficiently to be really excited.  Panic is generally what I do first, way in advance of anything actually happening.  Then I calm down and get down to business.    It’s the “Been there, Stressed over that, what’s the fuss?” method.

These classes sound so interesting.  I can’t wait.
