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

Monday:
<ul>
	<li>Took tour of school with Mitch and Russ, recieved login credentials and relevant information for managing computers.</li>
	<li> Helped install a desktop shortcut for the Renaissance reading program on a few computers, which seems to be needed throughout the school.</li>
	<li>Fixed my own access to Google doc relating to tech support requests.</li>
	<li>General introduction to my time at Ray.</li>
</ul>

Wednesday:
<ul>
	<li>Replaced very old computer in Room 204.</li>
	<li>Began testing in the IMF (or is it IDF?) room to see what computers work.</li>
	<li>Attempted to replace the toner in the pritner in room 311. Discovered that there was no priner in room 311. Was unable to repalce toner.  </li>
	<li>Listened to a substitute teacher get very very angry at a room full of 3rd graders who were talking quietly. Apparently 9 year olds are supposed to feel bad about themselves becuase one of the kids in the class who happened to be from London was relatively well behaved.</li>
	<li>Discovered that I am inadequate because there are international students in my classes who do better than me.</li>
	<li>Wondered if maybe this teacher wouldn't do better in therapy than with a room full of elementary school children.</li>
</ul>

Friday:
<ul>
	<li>Found out that the room 311 printer is in fact in room 306. Was unable to fix the problem because I don't have access to the toner.</li>
	<li>Continued testing computers from the IDF room. The computers that I have tested so far have very strange issues, like being so slow that it's impossible to open up the control panel, or defaulting to a keyboard layout that's in Spanish. I think that all of the ones that I have tested so far can benefit from a fresh install of XP, ideally with all of the desktop shortcuts configured the way we want them to be. I'm not sure how I would go about fixing this up, I want to ask Russ/Ms. Cobb on Monday.</li>
	<li>I understand that the website makes backups of itself somewhere and that each month, one of these backups needs to be transferred over to another server, then the past month's worth of backups needs to be deleted. I was wondering if I could see exactly what the directory layout of all of this is like so that I could make a script that does it automatically?</li>
	<li>Discovered how to log in to Wordpress to make blog post.</li>
	<li>Made blog post.</li>
