 I am tired and want to go to bed and I am hoping this entry is short. We'll see how I do.

There is a relatively new girl at school so when we printed out test tickets awhile ago she wasn't on the list. The principal got her added but we never got around to printing her tickets off. This became obvious today when her class was taking the test and there wasn't a ticket for her. I went to see if the principal had one but I think she was in a meeting and I couldn't find her. I heard one of the kindergarten teachers, who sometimes subs for the principal, knew how to print tickets so I headed down to his room. We couldn't remember the website so we had to go back to the office and then back to the kindergarten room. We eventually got the girls login information but it ended up taking about thirty minutes to get it all worked out. Tomorrow's test should go better.

That same kindergarten teacher had lab time after that test and when it got closer to his time it didn't look like everyone would be done taking the test so I went down to his room to tell him he wasn't going to have his lab time. He wasn't there so I told his student intern and then headed back to the lab. As I got there the teacher came out of the lounge where he had been eating ice cream. He was supposed to be coming to ask me about his lab time and he said I was going to get him in trouble with the student intern because he obviously wasn't doing what he told her he was going to do. When I was talking to him one of the paras came out of the lounge and called me by the wrong name as a joke because when we were walking into the main office last week one of the secretaries called me by the wrong name. She joked about starting a thing and getting everyone to do it but I told her most people still mispronounced my last name so I didn't need any help. Then she complimented our choice in shoes because we were both wearing Chucks and said mine were better because they were red, so we parted ways on good terms.

The rest of the day was fairly boring. Watching kids take tests. Near the end of the day I helped one of the new Chinese kids get into Odyssey. He just got here in the last month or so and doesn't speak very much English so we were trying to find math stuff that was fairly straight forward. That was kind of a success. Maybe. Not really. But he did way better than I would have done trying to do math in a foreign language.

The new Battlefield 3 DLC came out today and I made the exact same mistake I made with the last DLC. Before work this morning I downloaded what I thought was the DLC but it ended up just being a massive 2GB update. I discovered this when I tried to play tonight and it said I still needed to download the DLC. So I had to wait over an hour for that to download. Fantastic. I had fun once I actually got to play though. At least when I was playing the new Air Superiority mode. It is just a bunch of jets dogfighting while trying to capture and hold three different spots on the map. I suck at shooting down other jets but I finally got the controls back to what I was used to before they got reset, so that is a plus. I think the best round I had was when I got one kill and only died three times. I got a lot of kills stolen from me but I could never manage more than one kill. It was still had fun flying around regardless of my inability to kill the enemy.

After that I tried one of the new maps in Rush mode and just got destroyed by the other team which is never fun. The map looked nice but I was too busy getting annoyed by bullshit so I called it a night after getting dominated twice.

Now it is bedtime.
