"Spring" Cleaning

I know it's not exactly time for "Spring Cleaning", but lately I've been in the cleaning mood. This is very strange for me considering my room at home was always a disaster. I would pick everything up every once in a while, but thats a rare occurrence. My mom would tell me to clean, it wouldn't happen, then eventually she would get aggravated and clean my room for me (I always loved how that ended). Of course the downside is I wouldn't know where anything was. Now that I have to clean my own room, well our room, I've become a "neat freak" by my standards. I've been sweeping, taking out the trash all the time, making my bed, even dusting. I've even helped my boyfriend and his roommate clean their room a few times. I never thought I would care this much, but I really do. It's not even a burden anymore. It's become something to do when everybody is busy and I'm sitting in my room, alone. I don't even mind doing laundry anymore (minus the fact that I'm paying at least two dollars per load on a college budget).
