I imagine I have said this numerous times over the years but I think my motivation has hit an all time low. Not good when trying to finish grad school.

Today at work I helped out for half of kindergarten literacy centers, had classes in the lab, and in my free time I worked on my website for my academic libraries class. For the class we have to create a digital portfolio of our assignments in the form of a website. The teacher mentioned several online options for building a website but I would like to make one so I can keep the stuff I learned over the summer in my web design class fresh in my mind. Or at least kind of fresh. I started working on it at the beginning of the semester but hit a wall with my menu not working. Today I had the same trouble but ended up figuring it out by cutting and pasting CSS code from one of the websites I made over the summer until I got it working. Then I slowly cut out the stuff I didn't need, checking after each cut to make sure I didn't need it. After I got it working how I wanted I went back and tweaked stuff so it looked better. I also added a picture of an open book for the banner picture and messed around with small stacks of books in the bottom corners. I'm not sure I'll keep those but we'll see.

It was an early release day and after work I went and got my oil changed before heading home. I then proceeded to do nothing. I had such lofty goals. Eventually it was time to go pick up Chipotle. The girl from a week or two ago who remembered my order was working on the line and was not stingy on the rice and beans so my burrito was huge. And delicious. I like when the workers don't act like they are personally having to pay for the amount of rice and beans they go through during their shift.

For dessert I had some of the apple crisp thing that one of the school cooks made me for helping her with computer stuff. I'm not a big fan of apple things but it was pretty good.

After videos I came downstairs and kind of worked on my weekly assignment. And by kind of I mean I searched for and read abstracts for several articles, which is part of the assignment. I figure maybe tomorrow at work I will have time to finish the rest of it. Hopefully. It will probably turn into tomorrow night if I'm being honest. I'm just kind of done with this semester. I'm a bit checked out. And burnt out. It's almost December.
