Back to School Organization: Part 2

We finally got our desk! My mom's fiance got all moved in last week and yesterday they brought us over a desk and a bookshelf! (More on the bookshelf later. Right now I'm in desk mode.)

There are a few pictures just to give you an idea of what it looks like. So much space!!

I have a couple of dry erase boards from The Board Dudes. I've used them for many things, but right now I haven't decided what to use them for. Maybe something will come to me eventually!

Here's the whole desk top. Look at all of that working space! It has a pull out drawer for a keyboard, but my boyfriend and I just own laptops, so that won't really be necessary for us. I just stashed a few things down there for the time being.

The top drawer is a little messy but I'm hoping to get some small containers or separators eventually to clean it up a bit. I just put all of the extra writing utensils (highlighters, pens, sharpies, pencils) and some notecards, tape, and adhesive strips.

On top of the desk I put all of the things that I use most often, such as the stapler, three-hole punch, paper clips, and sticky notes.

In the cabinet I put Jon's and my schoolbooks. I gave him the bottom shelf though because I don't want to have to bend over that much. Especially when I get really big. :)

I love these containers right here. One has four square pockets so I have pens in one, pencils in another, highlighters in a third, and sharpies in the fourth. Then the other has a budget notebook, stamps, and other miscellaneous items. Then I have my small notepad and my planner on the top shelf for easy access. :)

I love using manila folders. I have a magazine rack turned file holder on the desk that hold all of my manila folders. There are folders for each of mine and Jon's school paths, apartment stuff, taxes, and then I have one for this semester of school. It holds all of my syllabi, school projects, and other things. I usually have one folder per class, but since most of my classes this semester are online, most of my work will be done online rather than printed out.

Here is the whole thing, with ultrasound pictures taped up for us to look at. :) We still don't have a chair for the desk, though, but I can't wait to get one and get to using my wonderful new desk space!!

Do you have new desk spaces that you enjoyed organizing? How do you organize your school things? I'd love to hear!

PS: I just wanted to share some news with you guys because I'm so excited! I'm finally starting to feel the baby move!! Two more weeks until I find out if we're having a boy or a girl! :)
