Main Report or Narrative: At Reavis this week, I was quite busy. On Wednesday, I talked with the engineer about the electrical situation and if possibly I could run extension cords to some computers in rooms that are not near an outlet. I was told that I could not which poses a large problem for me. The school is practically without necessary outlets on one side of the building which makes it really hard to put computers in the rooms. Though I have been utilizing the outlets that are available, some of the rooms are set up that this makes it impossible. This is one the challenges I've been facing for awhile now and have mostly done well to overcome it, however, room 114 is quite the trouble maker when it comes to this problem. I also have been doing up keep on the junior high lab. Everything is looking good in there, as of today that is! Also on Wednesday, I helped a teacher back up all of her files so that she could switch computers as the wireless card went out on the computer she uses and I have yet to find a fix for the wireless card. Another thing that I did on Wednesday was put 3 computers into Ms. Simmons room, (207, I believe). Her room also was one of the problem rooms in concern with the outlets but eventually we decided to rearrange the room so that a table could fit to put the computers on. It worked out nicely.  On Friday, I did a quick sweep of the computer lab to make sure that everything is working well. Also I put 2 computers into Mrs. Bryant's classroom. Here, I faced many problems. One was I lacked two mice for the computer. I had to go rummaging into the storage rooms and all throughout the building, but eventually got my hands on them. When I tried to set the two computers up I ran into some problems with monitors  not working, and video cards on computers not working to the computer itself not wanting to run. Eventually though I got everything working. Also, that was the last of my computers with wireless cards. I thought I had one more, but it didn't work when I tried to set it up and I have (I think) two more rooms that I promised at least 1 computer with wireless. I may be able to get the one up and running I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions let me know! Thanks! and that was my report, hope you enjoyed it!
