After sending an email out about the popcorn this morning, I emailed
one of the resource teachers and one of the second grade teachers to
see if they needed any work done because I couldn't take another day
of downloading fonts. Neither teacher failed me. For the second
grade teacher, I entered grades, made copies, printed off information
about a couple famous people, and returned books to the library.
The resource teacher had me make an idiom game for her. I made the
cards where I picked an idiom from a list and then used it in a
sentence. Some of them were pretty tricky but was eventually able to
come up with twenty-four sentences. The second part of the project,
after printing the cards and cutting them out, was to laminate them.
The only problem was that the laminator was broken. Before I knew
this I mentioned to one of the ladies in the office that the
laminator needed more plastic. The broken part was that the plastic
kept wrapping around the rollers and jamming. It appeared to be due
to static. After quite a bit of work we eventually got it working.
Or so we thought. After it heated up I started running cards through
and the plastic ended up wrapping around the back set of rollers,
which I hadn't even seen before. So I cut out the wrapped up plastic
and slowly ran it through until it was for sure coming out the back
and not getting hung up on rollers. By the time all of that got
figured out I only had time to cut out half of the cards before the
end of the day. But I felt pretty accomplished about it all.
The representative from the yearbook company stopped by today. He's
kind of an awkward old man. And it was an awkward conversation. He
asked me how things were going and if I had any problems. I
mentioned the problem of portraits from last year coming out bigger
than the new ones and the fact that I could get the teachers'
portraits to stay at the beginning of their class on the individual
pages. But it turns out he really didn't want to know about any
problems because he just suggested I try calling the support number.
Not very helpful but whatever.
After work I stopped by my sister's house because she had more of the
chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies for me. Then I stopped and
got Powerball tickets and a newspaper because the headline said
Crimea had voted to annex itself and join Russia. This ended up
being a very misleading headline because what they actually did was
vote to move up the vote to annex itself. Close but not really.
The talent show was interesting. There were some good parts but for
most of it I couldn't really see or hear what was going on. The
stage is too low and the sound system sucks. There were also
thirty-four acts. That's asking a lot and our talent pool at the
school isn't that deep. There were also four different versions of
Let It Go from Frozen.
It all ended up taking two hours but it felt a lot longer. But I'm
glad I went because there were a lot of worthwhile acts, at least of
the ones I could see and/or hear.
When I got home I had dinner and
watched some TV. At the moment my kidney is feeling kind of weird
but I am going to try and go to bed because I am really tired and I
have to work in the morning. I just want to sleep.
