Testing was an unfortunate success throughout the day. Our only issues were with text-to-speech tests kind of working and mostly not working. At least not working as intended. I probably did less running around today but there was still a good amount. My knees are feeling it at the moment. We are trying to play catch-up so we had four tests today. Even without all the running around, standing for over fours hours is kind of rough. Outside of testing I didn't really accomplish much of anything at work today. I finished making the lab schedule for next week and posted that as well as the MAP sign-up sheet. And that was about it.

During the first test I was talking a little bit with one of the fifth grade teachers and she was telling me how her class keeps getting smaller and smaller. It wasn't that big to begin with but a few kids have moved, one is moving to the other fifth grade room, and another one might be moving later this month. I think she said if that happens she'll be down to thirteen kids. I guess it makes for a better learning environment, having the teacher's attention divided less. Although at this rate we might be back to one sixth grade class next year, like last year.

Tonight at the theater I knitted, read short stories, and watched a little bit of The Raid 2. And by a little bit, I mean the last half hour or so. It's almost a three hour movie and my knees won't take standing through that. And I don't really want to see it that bad. The fight scene in the kitchen near the end is epic but it is also really long, which is cool, but it is exhausting just to watch. I can't even imagine how exhausting it would have been to actually film the scene, not just watch it.

At the time of me writing these words it is not quite midnight. I should be home by 1:30AM. And then I'll be back before 11:00AM tomorrow. Every week I seem to hit a wall around 11:30PM. Starting around 11:00PM I can feel it start to hit me and within thirty minutes it is a real struggle to keep my eyes open. I really like my job at the school (most of the time) but it would be nice to have a job where it was the only job I had and didn't have to work so late into the night, after working all day at another job. Someday. Now I'm going to watch the last hour of Captain America 2: Winter Soldier so I don't fall asleep.
