 I tried going to bed early last night but it ended up taking me awhile to fall asleep, which was annoying. I also woke up numerous times throughout the night. Also annoying.

This morning there was a Veteran's Day parade. Several classes were in the parade and most of the ones that weren't went to watch. Only the sixth grade classes didn't go and one of them played Sardines throughout the building. I believe that is the hide-and-seek game where you have to hide with the person you find until only one person is left seeking. I could be wrong. It was entertaining to watch, though.

I spent a good chunk of my morning looking for library-related jobs at game studios. I ended up finding an internship at Blizzard in their library and archive. Pretty much exactly what I have been looking for but and I'm surprised I haven't found more like that. I started going through the application process and only have the cover letter left. It's for the summer and in the description it says that I need to be returning to school for one more semester following the internship. And the summer will be my last semester, so that would be a problem, but I figure it is worth applying anyway. If nothing else, it will be good experience at applying for jobs. And it would be really cool if it worked out.

Throughout the day I helped one of the SPED teachers with a couple laptops, made a bingo game for the resource teacher, and had a few classes in the lab. Near the end of the day I went down to the library to help the librarian with a project she is working on for her son. We ended up working on that until almost five o'clock, or maybe a little after.

When I left work I picked up Chipotle and then stopped to get gas before heading home. I wanted to get it tonight so I didn't have to leave any earlier in the morning, and I didn't want to risk another overflowing incident while wearing nice clothes.

I accomplished nothing tonight. I got a message last night before going to bed that the research paper deadline had been bumped back to next Wednesday. That is great news but it also means I'm going to continue procrastinating. I'll still try for the goal of getting it done by Friday but I doubt I'll be in the mood after the funeral and all the driving tomorrow. We'll see.

Now I'm going to hold out a little longer and then try on my nice clothes before bed just to make sure everything still fits. I haven't worn my suit in quite awhile and I'm a little concerned it won't fit. I've got options if it doesn't.

Tomorrow will be long and depressing. I'm not looking forward to it.
