My Life on an External Hard Drive

So I've finally taken on the task of organizing my millions and millions of pictures that are stored on my external hard drive. I'm sort of regretting this decision (but not really) since it's such a mess and actually a really difficult and time-consuming project. And even though I'm actually doing something quite productive, I feel really lazy because I'm just glued to a chair with my laptop, and I've got the show Friends playing on loop in the background. I truly can quote that show word for word now, and I just do not even know how many times I have gone through all 10 seasons. I mean not since I started this little project, but just in general.

Anyway. I finished pretty much everything, except my completely unorganized pictures from my trip to the Middle East in 2009. I did Egypt, and now I'm working on Jordan, where the majority of my time was spent that summer. Aaaand.....OH. MY. GOSH. SO MANY PICTURES. So not only am I now extremely nostalgic and sad that those days are gone....but I'm really annoyed that I took so many pictures and now have to go through them and organize them since I didn't do that as that summer went along.

Once I finished the rest of my pictures and knew I only had my study abroad to cover, I was really excited and thought I was almost finished. But oh. Oh no. I still haven't even touched Israel, and I can't seem to navigate through Jordan. I'm telling you...it's a mess. And I have to go through each and every one because some of it is just stupid and taking up space, and also I've got a lot of repeat pictures. I'm talking thoooouuuusaaaands of pictures to sort through.

So I apparently I wasn't almost finished, silly me. I'M JUST BEGINNING. I think this will take me all week, if not longer. I certainly hope not longer. So basically, I've decided that if I'm on my computer, I'm only going to bother with Facebook or Gmail if it's not sorting pictures. I've got to get this done so I can move on to something that doesn't involve me sitting on a couch watching TV and eating crappy food.

This means no blogging. Also the reason I've been absent for the past week. So if anyone blogs in the near future, it'll probably be Mary. Unless I cave and decide to just delete my life's worth of pictures because that just seems easier. Don't worry, I'll probably not be that stupid...
