May 4, 2016

Good grief. It will soon be midnight and I need to get to bed.

Today was an early-release day and there wasn't a lot going on. This morning there were two classes in the lab and I helped with kindergarten literacy centers. When that wasn't happening I worked on a card for one of the fifth grade teachers. She makes a card with her class every year and has me scan it (and do some photo editing) so she can print out a bunch of copies. The kids then write in all of them and pass them out to the teachers and staff. I'm probably over halfway done with the editing. It would be nice to get it done this week but we'll see.

This afternoon there was more card editing and I heard back from the professor with her feedback of my resume. It was exactly the type of feedback I was hoping to get from the workshop. Even though I didn't get it at the workshop, I got a lot of other good advice, and it provided the opportunity for me to email this professor to get her feedback. I made all the changes and now I feel a lot better about my resume.

Not long after I got the resume feedback, I got an email from the school job list listserv and it mentioned the two adult services positions at the public library that the PR lady has been telling me about. Perfect timing. I emailed the PR lady and asked her to look over my newly edited resume and got some feedback from her as well. I have until next Friday to fill out the application and turn it in along with my resume. It would be nice to get that done this weekend so I can hand it in on Monday but I also have to wrap this school semester up this weekend, so I might not have time. I also need to email one of my professors, who has been my go-to faculty reference for things, and see if I can put her down as a reference on my resume.

When I got home from work I did school stuff. I eventually got an email from the last group member with his presentation slides and was able to add those in. I also got an email from another group member who had updated the paper with an opening and closing, so I reviewed that and changed a couple things. Then I sent the updated presentation and paper back out to everyone for them to look over.

I took a break for Chipotle night. My bowl was good tonight but I probably could have used more rice and beans. I got screen mirroring to work on my sister's phone so she was able to show us on the TV all of the pictures she got from the wrestling event she went to last night with her husband. They didn't realize it ahead of time but they ended up being in the third or fourth row from the ring, which would have been really cool. We went to one when I was really young but I don't really remember anything from it. And we certainly weren't sitting that close to the action.

I spent the rest of the night setting up my webcam and microphone for the presentation in the morning, and working on my script. It took me until almost midnight but I finally got something I'm happy with. It will come in a little under four minutes, out of the allotted five minutes per person, but I'm going last and I'm fairly confident everyone before me will go long, so I'll probably already be in the hole before I start. It will be a relief to get past this presentation and get the paper turned in. Then I can focus on the reflection for my other class. And then I'll be done. At least with these classes. I still have plenty of stuff to worry about.


Now it is past my bedtime. I might “sleep in” until seven o'clock but then I need to get up, take a shower, and get ready for the presentation at nine o'clock. I'm interested to see how things go.
