End of an Era

Last night I submitted what should be the last homework assignment of my master's degree program (assuming I pass next week's test).  I don't need this "spot" anymore:

For years now, this is where I've done my homework.  Turns out it's right under a hanging lamp as well as the heater/air conditioner vent, so it's the perfect spot.  And since I sit so much during the day, I'd rather not sit when doing homework--I stretch out on the floor.

I looked down at this spot and realized I don't need it anymore.  With the shallow evening sun streaming through the front window, I'll take a study vacation tonight and clean this little area up.  I don't mind having to do it at all!!!
