Today a kindergartener told me that his class had a pizza party. I told him that I wanted a pizza party and he told me that I should work on being a kid and earn one. Can't argue with that.

I started scanning my grandma's pictures today in between classes. I was doing pretty good until the end when I kind of lost track of where I was and I think I scanned some a couple times. And I'm not quite sure which ones I haven't scanned, if I did miss some, which I'm pretty sure I did. I scanned seven or eight at a time and now I'm going through and cutting out the individual pictures. When I get done with that I can compare them to the physical photos so I can figure out what I'm missing. And then do a better job in the future of keeping track of what I have and have not scanned. When I get this first round of pictures sorted out I'll send them off to my grandma so she can comment on them. I am ignoring all the editing until later because that will be a really long process. These were all the loose pictures and next I will need to move onto the photo albums, which will be a bit tricky.

I was given another project today. Earlier in the year I cut out a bunch of word cards and then punched a hole in them so they could be put on a ring. And now I get to do it again. This time is a little worse, though. The first cards were all touching, so I just had to make one cut to separate cards and cut them out. This time there is a gap between all the cards so I'll have to make several more cuts. I got a start on it and it sucks. I'll finish it sometime.

Speaking of finishing, I got all my pie charts laid out and delivered them to the teachers. Still haven't decided on another visualization of that data and at this point I probably won't, but there's still a chance.

There was a third grade performance today, football/sports-themed, and it was pretty good. There was choreography so it was an instant winner in my book. At one point there was a robot dance breakdown and a couple of the kids had some moves.

I didn't have a visit with the new volunteer kid today. I texted him but never heard back. Not surprised by that. Also not surprising, no school work was completed tonight. I spent a lot of time cutting out some of the photos I scanned today. I made it up to fifty and that was a little over halfway, I think. This is going to be a very big project.

This weekend, for real, I'm going to have to crack down on school work. At this point I'm behind on everything except discussion posts for my research class (only because we didn't have one this week). I need to catch up on both of my group projects and make significant progress on my reflective journal entries. I need to do all of the things. Super bad.
