Day in the Life

Colleges often do a day in the life. I thought I would do one:

Before school 7:20 AM: Meet with Dr Reilly to go over college recommendation letter by providing him with a copy of my most recent Personal Update. 7:30 AM: Entprenureship class: activities to learn people's names, watch presentations Jacket 9AM: Homeroom, tell homeroom teacher I am going to H-Vision (student television) meeting. Greet new members and set up dates for anchor and technical pratice 9:16AM: Humanities class with Mr. Mullen in a different room due to painting; write and edit college essay, as well as assist other student's with their's; help calm student who realized she forgot to answer the prompt in her letter 10:25PM: Quick hello to my girlfriend who aks me if I want to see Joe Biden at Linvilla Orchards tomorrow night. Oh yes! 10:30AM: Meeting with the principal to present Videre, my Gov School project to improve online gradebooks, as well as update him on my work with SeniorQuoter and SocialView 11:20AM: Make it back to class in time to see 10 minutes of the movie showing in Business Law, (title) 11:30AM: Lunch; stop by guidance counselor to check if she was able to convince the department to accept the forms electronically; eat 5 min of my lunch to find that Mrs. Fish, the school's publications director is trying to frantically find me 11:40AM: The tech department is rewiring the room to not use a hub or router. Mrs. Fish is very concerned that stuff will break. The rewiring messes up file sharing and network printing, so I revert the network 5 min after the man leaves and console MRs. Fish that everything will work. I stay into the rest of 3rd block putting away extra wires she has laying around and putting away old equipment. ??: Go to 4th block, Calculus. Go over the test I got a 92% on; argue about getting a point back I think I deserve; Talk about ___ (Paste notes) 2:22PM: Head over to the schools admin offices for my scheduled meeting with the directory of technology: show off Videre again, give an update on SeniorQuoter and Tecker 911 being back; give my thoughts on how to improve Classrooms of the Future by bosting the log in time (the admins don't ever really use the tech so they don't know what drives kids crazy; agree that the domain log in seems longer; propose system that only requires log in for accessing your files; ~3:45PM Mr. McGriff (9th Grade Principal) walks in with Dallas Cowboys hat on (with an Eagles game tonight) rallying up outrage from his support of the Cowboys, asks if I know of anything for building a family tree or way to connect his family, suggest Ning and he asks if collecting student's cell numbers for sending text messages was a good idea, I tell him only if the purpose for collecting them was clear (the school was not doing it for trying to catch people using phones in school) ~4:44 Look at pics on the wall from Tech Time, the computer club in middle school; talk to the network guy about the slow booting laptops; complain about how our school won't submit the counselor forms electronically: it seems like so much less work; talk about how the IRS should charge for paper filing and make E-filing free ~4:30PM: Talk about what will happen with the publications office; admins not happy it was flying under the radar; advocate from Mrs. Fish saying she needs this stuff to work; admins say this was the first time they knew she needed file sharing and that sharing should work over the school's network, but firewall is blocking file sharing; will try to fix tomorrow; arrange meeting tomorrow at lunch to work and try to address admins and pub office demands. 5:40PM: Leave and call my mom and dad tying to see if I can get a ride home; no luck; start to walk 5:45PM: My GridView employee calls me about questions with some work I set him; I give him an overview of what to do as I dodge traffic walking home 6:00PM Neighbor I helped with their computers sees me walking home and offers to give me a ride 6:05PM Write this day in the life while it is still fresh senior project 6:45PM Write girlfriend about tomorrow, and Mrs. Fish telling her not to worry that I told the admins about Pub office and they will fix it tomorrow and not to worry. 6:55PM Try to call people I am helping with the computer; Dad is on the phone (even though he has his own line!) 7:00PM Watch Obama Rally live online at "Change We Need" Rally in Pueblo, CO
