I would be lost without my desktop; it holds some of the most important documents of my every day life.
When I analyze it (which I have never done previously), my desktop is actually a perfect mirror of my personality: I am endlessly organized in real life, while my desktop has a variety of folders with specific titles, within which there are sub-folders for all of the individual documents. However, I sometimes “let go” and get behind on my organization, which can be seen from the documents which are yet-to-be-organized and have been left astray on my desktop.
My desktop background of the map is my encouragement of self-education. I am a visual learner much more than I am an auditory learner, so I find looking at the map (along with any other informative images) to be the best way for me to learn about the part of the world that I am living in.
At the bottom of my desktop, I have very few application icons. This reflects my admiration for keeping things simple and only having what is necessary. It personally drives me crazy when others have a wide assortment of applications at the bottom or side which they so obviously rarely use.
My desktop is my home base, almost a reflection of my bedroom; I keep it my way, its layout is my decision, and I keep my personal items there. From day to day, it is my jumping off point into another world.
