I have exactly one drawer in my desk. The contents are strange and I am continually finding things in it that I did not know were there, which is why I call it The Chamber of Secrets. In it, I keep things that fall into three different categories:
Things of sentimental value:
- a picture of my very first class
- notes from colleagues and students
- a camera that contains pictures I am too lazy to upload, but might want to look at one day
Things I need on a regular basis:
- pre-sharpened Ticonderoga pencils (my favorite writing implement)
- tape
- paper clips
- school letter head notepaper
- staples
Random things which have no real use, but I can't seem to get rid of:
- small toys (mostly Lego guys) that I have confiscated from a student (he never did ask for them back)
- brass fasteners (I might one day find a purpose for them!)
- grey thread (because I might need to sew someday) but no needle (oh, wait..)
- a hair barrette (I don't ever wear them, but...)
It isn't much to look at, but it keeps the top of my desk looking much better!
