Day 6 of Training

I am so tired. Make that, put my feet up, watch my replayed soap when I get home tired. Today has been a long day, and I still have 40 minutes to go.

This morning, I reported to the training center as usual for Day 6 of new teacher training. However, that proved to be pretty pointless because we were supposed to be working on lesson plans, and etc... with our mentors or vocational specialists, and seeing as I have yet to meet my mentor, or my vocational specialist, and didn't have any books with me, that pretty much eliminated the ability for me to work on lesson plans home.

So I stopped by the college, visited Peter, and ran home to get a few things for my classroom, and then headed down to the high school. I will be so excited when Belkin's iTrip for the new iPod's comes out. I love listening to my iPod everywhere, even in the car, although I'm told that listening to a headphone piece of equipment in the car is not considered "safe", so the minute that I can order iTrip I will. Then I can listen to my favorite Audible books through BumbleB's (that's my car's name!) stereo. It will sure make the 20 to 40 minute drive depending on traffic to the high school seem faster.

I've been doing all sorts of little projects at the high school. The first thing on my agenda was to convince the resident tech guy to let me use my much cooler Mac (whose name is Clyde, btw!) instead of their substandard, heehee, Dell Latitude. Ok, to be fair, it's not bad, but I miss being able to save to Cd with the CD-r drive. This dell has a dvd and floppy drive, but no cd-r. Doesn't make much sense to me.

But, fortunately, he's ok with that, so as of tomorrow, if I can manage to get the pc-emulator on it, i'm going have Clyde with me, yea!

I also worked on some bulletin boards, have several more to go, and managed to tote down 17 books for my Employment Seminar Class. Boy, was that a hassle! I'm sure I made a funny picture rolling this rickety wheely chair across the second floor, to the elevator, and then across the main hall to my room. But hey, I've got my books now!

Now I'm gonna try to finish one last bulletin board, my Brag Board, then I'm heading out! I think I'm going to try and go to the local teacher's center to laminate some stuff, we'll see.
