September 17, 2015

 Not nearly as much happened today worth writing about so this will be short. Short-er at least.

I had tests all day today so that was nice. Only one more week. Until January. And April. When I wasn't testing I entered scores and started messing around with an idea for improving the Lexile color chart I made for the librarian last year, which was an improvement over the one she had previously sent out. I have a couple ideas but its a matter of having the time between tests to get them out and see what they actually look like.

Outside of the lab I helped one of the kindergarten teachers with the firewall, one of the second grade teachers with her newly ceiling-mounted projector, the music sub with the projector, and possibly the sixth grade teacher with her daughter's emails being blocked. That last one has been an ongoing issue and if my latest solution doesn't work than who knows. As for the music sub, one of the sixth graders came and got me because they couldn't get the video to work on the projector, only the audio. My first clue that nothing was wrong should have been the DVD player splash screen displayed by the projector as the sound played. But I just noted that as weird before spending several minutes digging through a rats nest of cables trying to figure things out. Eventually I realized that the DVD the kids wanted video for was really just a data DVD, filled with a bunch of songs, so there wasn't actually a video, just music. Minutes wasted but at least it was figured out in the end.


After work I watched a couple YouTube videos and read half an article before dinner. My Chipotle burrito this week was easily the best one I have had in a long time. After dinner I finished reading the article, read a second article, and then wrote my discussion post for this week. I'm pretty happy with it. I spent so much time on it, however, that I didn't make it to finishing writing up my interview. If it were due tonight I would have finished it but it isn't due until tomorrow so I can finish it after work. And then spend a lot of time on my group project because I haven't really done any work toward the content of that project all week. I need to step it up.
