You Had To Be There

Final Day…Almost
I’ve been at school since 10am. Working straight through all of the things that needed touching up and finishing. Did I mention that I went to sleep at about 1:30 after finishing my pages.
So, Mrs. R and I have been working on the Index pages and putting names to the club pictures. ARGH. If I had to do this type of work everyday my brain would explode!
Correcting the Index has given me a great appreciation of names. I’m going to give my children very simple names that not even a caveman could get wrong, ie Jane Doe, or John Smith. Hopefully my husbands last name is easy. But definitely no Matthews, or Katelyns or any other name that could be shortened and changed. My child won’t go by their middle name either, because thats annoying.
The index is almost complete. I need to add in the club pictures.
I also need to finish our yearbook spread. Mrs. R left. We had planned to finish the book today. But our plans were foiled because she had to leave early and the club pictures took longer than anticipated.
So…I’m here in this empty school working through as much as I can today. Because Friday…I’m gone two weeks straight and I’m pretty sure that our deadline falls somewhere in there.
Will our book get turned in on time!?! Stay tuned.
Day 95
The halls are dark and empty. This room is dark and empty, actually. Mrs. R isn’t here yet. She said she was going to stop in at 10:30 or so and it is now 12:37. I’m not too bothered by it.
I’m almost done with the JV soccer page. I just need to finish up the Boys’ and Girl’s track pages. Then Graduation and that will be the end of my hardcore-real pages. Then we have the yearbook spread to make and we have to put names to all of those club pictures. Good times. Almost there. Almost.
Day 94
School is out. My staff is gone, leaving myself and Mrs. R to finish the handful a spreads and the index. I have been so busy with graduating and this yearbook that I haven’t updated daily like I would have wanted. So I documented my last day of school. Which was a mass of yearbook and such.
Time Check in the library.
Checking the email. Because I can do that on Mrs. R’s login.
This is the computer I sat at in the library. We got kicked out of our room, because someone was doing some SOL testing. It’s a mess. The Papers on the floor were ones that I was done with. btw.
Editing.
Interviewing someone.
Editing some spreads, while listening to my ipod.
