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

On Monday, after taking all of the games off of Ms. Buris-Gaines' computer, I finally got started on putting together the "media center". I puttered around attempting to find functional computers in the back of the lab and managed to put together about two functional workstations. On Wednesday, Sara and I sort of finished the job by fitting scavenged memory into a few computers, putting together two more stations and getting them all hooked up to the internet via a series of complicated cable maneuvers. Today was the first meeting of the yearbook club, which was semi-successful. The students seemed mostly enthusiastic (some more than others) and came up with some good ideas, although the internet research wasn't as successful as I'd hoped it would be since two of the computers were running at a remarkably slow pace and one had to be swapped out on the fly. Today was also my first experience with the sort of poorly conceived computer lab management that Shaz had mentioned at Tuesday's meeting. When I went up into the lab at 1:00, a sub was in there sort of dazedly wandering around as kids unplugged and replugged various peripherals and tootled around on a series of cartoon-related websites. I wasn't sure what to do about this situation, as she was relatively compliant about getting out at 1:30 (although her kids weren't -- she left about five or six stragglers which I had to kick out). The kicker, though, was when I was looking for the tupperware in which we had been storing spare RAM. I found the RAM on a shelf, and the tupperware on the floor...

<strong>...full of pee.</strong>
