Title: What to do with notebooks, etc.
Post by: dejan91 on November 25, 2009, 02:10:49 pm
Should I just throw out all my notebooks and prac exams or store them somewhere? It feels like such a waste (not in the recycling sense). What did you do?

If you're indecisive just store them somewhere, they shouldn't take up that much space. That is, if you think you might possibly need to look over them again (might depend on which uni course you're doing or if you wanna do tutoring).
If you know you're never going to need them again give them to someone else who is still doing VCE or yeah, chuck them. But your trash could be someone else's treasure.

Yes, I am incredibly indecisive. Well I'd feel bad for just throwing most of it away.  But then on the other hand I most likely wouldn't look over it again. But I guess it's best to keep it just in case. Grr time to start sorting...

WOW MAN!  I have EXACT same issue as you, and have felt embarrassed by it!

LOL, I have still got my books from year 10 =S lol, because my mind tells me (or insanity) "you might still use them/ they mgiht come in handy".

Only reaosn being is because I actually DO THE WORK, and set out examples etc!! It took time, effort and PAIN.

You know, I still have my year 12 ones as well, LOL. I am waiting until I get my ENTER as stupid as that sounds. Then i will throw most stuff away, but I plan to keep some useful stuff maybe?

Haha I have books from year 10 too (maybe even year 9 lol)! Exactly as you say, it took time, effort and pain.

lol yeah good point
Back in year 9/10 I was a perfectionist with my workbook. When graphing (normally 20 graphs in a row) I would rule an margin, allocate 4 graphs to one page (checking the leftmost graphs are the correct distance from the margin), then check the axes are exactly perpendicular, then measure out a scale using my ruler. For smaller graphs I would have 5 marks on each axis and larger graphs I would have 10 marks on the y-axis and 5 marks on the x-axis, and somehow I would exactly fill the page with graphs, it was a complicated algorithm

Old exam papers: Keep some of them printed one-sided (I can still write on the backside), the rest recycling bin

Spec Maths Bound Reference: Keep (no idea why)

The rest, throw. Stuff into a box, seal then drop it down a rubbish chute (I live in an apartment), then hear the box smash open and the sound of papers fluttering everywhere
