    <content type="html">Spent a few hours today "packing". By which I mean that I took all of the things out of half a dozen boxes and then organised them in stacks on the floor. Which is, like, the first step at least. Got my books sorted into a "keep" pile and a "don't keep" pile. Almost exactly 20% of them wound up in the "keep" pile, which I'm happy with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm very happy to have found a notepad I was searching for months ago. As well as the notes I was looking for, it contains a couple of poems I'd entirely forgotten writing. Both from first year lectures, first year maths I am guessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First a limerick:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The limit as x nears to seven"&lt;br /&gt;We did this stuff in year eleven!&lt;br /&gt;It bores me to hell,&lt;br /&gt;I don't take this well,&lt;br /&gt;it's more fun to find rhymes like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then what was maybe meant to be a sonnet, but it works like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that if my chem and maths&lt;br /&gt;curriculums did what they advertised&lt;br /&gt;I would be spending more time making graphs &lt;br /&gt;than making rhymes. I should not be surprised.&lt;br /&gt;They said this knowledge they'd assume we knew&lt;br /&gt;and yet I have to sit through it again;&lt;br /&gt;I guess there are some people who are new.&lt;br /&gt;But me? This is the best use of my pen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jaydee&amp;ditemid=5679" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
