February 16, 2016

 My goodness, I'm tired. Let's get this thing done.

Waking up this morning was a little rough because I didn't get to bed until around one o'clock in the morning. I much prefer an up late, late to rise kind of schedule. Early mornings are awful, even when I've had a full night of rest.

Work today was a very average day. I scanned and edited some sixth grade baby pictures throughout the day. I also had several classes in the lab throughout the day. Nothing eventful happened. One of the first grade classes came this afternoon even though they weren't scheduled but it worked out. While the kids worked on their computers the teacher used the projector to draw the silhouettes of the kids, one by one. I'm sure there is a way to just turn on the bulb but I couldn't be bothered to figure that out so I just opened a blank Word document to get a bright white background for her. It worked pretty well.

This afternoon I cut out tickets for the state assessment. I didn't think we needed tickets this time around because I thought it was going to be like MAP testing where we were given a generic log in for all the kids and then they would pick their name from a list. I was half right. The kids still have to have tickets to log in and there is also a new access code every day. I'm not sure where the code comes into play but I'll find out tomorrow. One thing we noticed today, thankfully before I started cutting, was that the username and password for each kid didn't change between the writing and math tests, so I only cut out tickets for one of the tests, which saved me quite a bit of time and effort.

On my way home from work I stopped and got a Powerball ticket because I definitely would have forgotten about it tomorrow. It's not a very good vice when I keep forgetting to partake. When I was nearly home I passed a giant SUV sitting at a stoplight. This is not an unusual occurrence but this SUV also had a Great Dane inside. I know this because its head, from the base of the neck up, was sticking out of the sunroof and it was just looking around like it was no big deal, like it is normal for a giant dog to be sitting in a giant SUV with its head sticking out of the sunroof. It was such an odd thing to witness.

From the moment I got home my lack of sleep from last night hit me like a ton of bricks. I just read one short article for my technology class and I am going to read one more, because it is also short, before I go to bed. Or not. No, I'm not going to read it. I need to take notes on it to reference for the discussion post this week and I was nodding off during the first article so yeah, no. There is always tomorrow. I will have four articles to read for my technology class and a bunch of copyright stuff to read for my other class so I can take a tutorial quiz. I really should have read over the weekend. Oh well.


It's not quite a quarter past nine o'clock and I am going to go to bed before I fall asleep in my chair. Hopefully early to bed, early to rise. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
