My timing going to work today wasn't the best. It was barely sprinkling when I went out to my car but started pouring about halfway to work. Thankfully I managed to avoid all puddles on the walk to the building so my socks remained dry.

I only had a few classes in the lab today and a lot of time on my hands so I went back up to the resource teacher to get more stuff to cut. I laminated a few things, and cut out a bunch of letter die (dice). I worked on this on and off throughout the day and managed to cut out and assemble all but six of the die. To assemble them I first glued it together and then taped it. Just to be safe.

I also scanned a bunch of art for this year's card art. Every year parents can let their kids turn in a piece of art they have done, which we then turn into cards and sell them to raise money. Last year the art teacher scanned them and I used Publisher to turn them into cards. This year the new sixth grade teacher is going to use Photoshop or something to turn them into cards. I think. I don't know. The librarian asked me if I could scan them. So I did, and edited the colors a bit in Gimp so they looked more like the original because everything seems to lose color when it is scanned. At least with the scanners I have used.

On Wednesdays I normally go to Chipotle and Jimmy John's on the way home but today it was pouring rain after work and I didn't want to deal with that so I went home and waited for it to pass over. Which is did pretty quickly. My burrito was pretty good tonight. By the way.

Tonight I played a bit of Terraria before getting annoyed once again by a lack of Halloween drops. I then jumped into Minecraft and harvested all my trees and stuff in my garden. The animals in my pens are still disappearing so that is a bummer. I think I have decided to just cheat in an animal spawner for each animal that I want. I still want to make my aquarium (which will be pointless in a way with the animals disappearing), possibly make a barn surrounding my animal pens, and make an orchard.

My RAM arrived yesterday so my computer went from 4GB to 12GB. I haven't really done much to test it out but I can now maintain a really high FPS with a Far render distance in Minecraft, with many web browser tabs open. So there's that. I am happy with the purchase.

Tomorrow is Halloween. I have no plans. My only goal is to find stuff to do at work. Last year I think I played a bit of Left 4 Dead 2 to celebrate the day. I'm not sure what I will do this year. Maybe watch a movie. Or not. I'll find out tomorrow.
