<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

This week was pretty slow -- just getting back into the swing of things. I started on Wednesday with a reexamination of Ms. Buris-Gaines' (107) computers, which unfortunately had not miraculously recovered over my absence. The one I had to reinstall Windows on is acting up a little, in the sense that it sometimes will think it is connected to the internet and other times will change its mind, and refuses to recognize the School account. With help, I hope to just reimage it so that I can get Word and Excel and all of those little ditties on. Her other computer was quite close to crashing as well, mostly because it's clogged up with all sorts of wretchedness. Explorer was failing, so I just launched it in Safe mode and used Spybot to give it a thorough cleaning (there were somewhere between 50 and 100 infections. delicious). I continued the cleaning through Thursday, at which point I was able to start the computer in normal mode. It still needs work, though, so that it can run at a reasonable pace again. I also met with Mr. Hinton about the yearbook club, which should be getting started next week! He gave me a list of 9 students (5 of which are his and 4 of which are Ms. Kimbrough's) with whom I'll be meeting with from 1:30-2:30 on Thursdays for the rest of the quarter. I'm a little nervous, since this will be my first class-leading experience,  but hopefully things will go well. In hopes of giving the students something to work from, I put a note in most of the teachers' mailboxes asking them to bring in high school yearbooks to show the students -- hopefully I'll get some! Now I just have to talk to Dr. Sanders about the exact plan, and start preparing for the big day. Yay!
