My dreams used to be exotic

My dreams used to be exotic: visiting new places and even new countries, stuff like that. Now, my dreams are of cleaning and organizing my house. Sad.

Pinterest does not do good things for my fantasy world. Instead of pinning fantastic places to my Places to Go board (which I have), I pin ways to organize my refrigerator, and ideas for building shelves in the wasted space under my stairs.

What happened to me? I swear I used to be more interesting than this.

Anyway, I have a bunch of ideas for projects this summer.

This first list is school-related:
1) I am moving back to my previous classroom (which is awesome because that room is bigger, has more windows, only shares one wall with another classroom, and has tile on the floor instead of nasty carpet). This means I need to do the following:
a) empty out my file cabinets--I've been working on a plan to change over all my files to binders and just keep extra copies of the important things (like short stories that are too costly to reprint). When I clean them out, I can take off all the hardware, repaint them, and make them look really cute. I'd like to keep one for actual files and the other for storage for things like videos and personal stuff.
b) redo my bookshelves--I have a classroom library that has gotten pretty extensive, and I've got several bookshelves that are already black. I'd like to spray paint the rest of them black and then modge-podge the shelves, maybe with pages from a dictionary or something. Or maybe I can wrap the shelves with contact paper or something. Or they can just be black. But it would be really nice to have the shelves all kind of match each other. I also need to finish tagging and alphabetizing my books.
c) I need to redo the TARDIS in the classroom--I'm pretty sure it's still covered with contact paper, which is good, but I may have to do some repairs. Then I need to transfer the decorations from the old classroom back to this one. Lots of posters to hang, but I can't really hang them until I have all the bookshelves where they need to go.
d) I'm starting to think that having my tv mounted on the wall isn't very practical (since it's had to be moved and remounted twice now). I might see if I can get a long dresser with some drawers that lock. I might be able to keep the video game consoles in there, if the drawers lock. And I can keep board games in the drawers too. I could put both tvs on the top of the dresser (if I can find a base for the one that is wall-mounted right now.

I have more plans, but this is the first list. I'll be back with some home-related stuff.
