Report cards. They have been taking up a lot of time time lately. I have almost 120 students that I need to do portfolios and report cards for. It’s hard because I still don’t know all of my students that well. I seem to know the bad ones and the good ones. But the average ones… well… I’m still learning about them. That makes writing good comments a huge challenge.
I’ve done some fun things with my kids the last few weeks. I’ll write about those soon. I also went out to dinner last Friday with the other teachers and I’ll write about that soon as it was delicious.
I spent a good portion of the last two weekends becoming frustrated with Microsoft’s Visual Studio. It’s a program that allows you to take raw computer code and make it into a working program (among other things). I never did succeed in getting BOINC to build and have given up (temporarily?) out of sheer frustration. Not being happy with that, last night I switched over to my install of Ubuntu and tried getting a music player to build. I think that the compiling gods who decide who will succeed and who will not are picking on me. Because something is “wrong”. What exactly that means is somewhat beyond me. I just sent an email to the person who is guiding me through this adventure.
So look for updates in the near future.
