I made a lot of progress with MAP stuff today. I downloaded all of
the reports for the classes that are fully updated (still waiting on
a few classes to have tests deleted). I also made all the pie charts
to show the breakdown of scores this time around and added those to
the ones for the Winter and Fall. I made them for individual
teachers and I made a collection that shows entire grades and the
entire school for the principal. Being able to type all of that into
a single paragraph makes it sound quite a bit less involved than it
was. It took so much work.
When I have finished all the MAP stuff I had time to edit a few
pictures for the slideshow. I might have a few more pictures to go
but tomorrow I'd like to start making the individual slides. And
then figure out how to actually make a slideshow again. I'm hoping I
vaguely remember enough that it will go smoothly.
This afternoon the sixth graders performed the play that they wrote
this year. Last year's sixth graders did the same thing and it
turned out really well. This one also turned out well. This year's
play was about a group of kids that were making a float for Mardi
Gras and the older kids in the group weren't nice to the younger
kids, until they learn to respect each other in the end. Some of the
kids were a little too good at being mean and a lot of the kids in
the audience were a little too amused by the mean kids in the play.
But it was good. I was surprised last year and was again surprised
this year, pleasantly so on both occasions.
I ended up not having to work the Book Fair after school. The
librarian's son's baseball game was canceled so she didn't have to
leave. I went down anyway near the end of the day to take a break
from the computer and talked to the librarian for awhile until a lot
of parents and kids started coming in to buy books.
When I got home I played Minecraft and made a lot of progress
in my second basement. I still need to figure out how I want to do
the roof on the second floor because my house is still lacking a
roof. I have some ideas but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
There was a break in playing when I had to run upstairs and break up
a dog fight. There was a very fine balance during feeding time at
the old house and it is even more precarious at the new house. We
already have to feed Tanner separate from Beau and Alfie but they nip
at each other as they pass because we have to let Tanner inside and
the other two out. I'm not sure how it started today, other than
passing each other during the switch, but when I got up there Alfie
had Tanner pinned on his back. Tanner is always the asshole starting
shit. Awhile ago Alfie finally gave it back and ever since then she
occasionally nips at him. Today she totally dominated him. He was
never the toughest, just always ready to start a fight, and now he
seems to be getting more frail, but he's still an asshole that starts
fights. And Alfie isn't having it.
Awhile ago, after unintentionally sticking my hand in a mouth when
trying to separate Tanner and Beau, I started to go lion tamer style
and would use a chair to to separate them. We have a baby gate
covering the stairs so the dogs can't go down, and as I came up I
just held onto the gate and went right for the dogs, shoving it in
between them until I could get them separated, and then used it to
coral Tanner away from the door so Alfie could be pushed outside.
Nothing like a dog fight to get the adrenaline going. I will never
get why people get into dog fighting, on several levels.
Tonight I played some GTA5 while watching the Neebs
livestream. When I first spawned in I got in my minivan to go see
Lester so he could explain the heists. All the way across town there
was another player in a helicopter trying to blow me up. He was a
horrible shot because he never hit me. He finally blew up my van
while it was parked outside Lester's house and I was inside watching
the cutscene. Nice guy. I spent most of my night playing solo
races, getting money and leveling up and maybe getting slightly
better at driving a motorcycle.
The stream is still going but it is eleven o'clock and I'm freaking
tired. I've been up way too late recently and waking up way too
early. This weekend I'll be sleeping in but we're not there yet. So
I'm going to sleep.
