Last Week Of School

This is the last week of school for the 2020-2021 year.  Crazy. Probably most of the tasks I get to this week will be about cleaning and closing down my classroom.  I think I'll have my few students who are attending live help me pack up some stuff.  If the IT folks came by and got the computers, then we wont have any PC... They can all ways use their Raspberry Pi's.

  1. [Done] - 05/30/2021 - Spend 30 min Cleaning Office.  
Actually spent an hour. But I also stopped at Target and got a bin for building a 3D printer dry box, and printed 2 sets of filament spool holder brackets.  I also watched 3 episodes of Dr Who

Almost Summer

2 more days of school and then it's summer.... Which means I should have more time to do these jobs.  My Office is a wreck, and I need to really work on the garage lab... But for now I'll only have the Office on the task list. But Hey!!! I did plant Asparagus and some Hosta.

  1. [Done] - 05/28/2021 - Start Cleaning Office <-- though this feels like a trick, because it's going to take lots of days...

Day 3... Is it a Habit yet?

Crap, I forgot my EAB minutes... I have most of it done, but now it's a 2 weeks late.  The fact that no one in the office has asked me about it means they are just as overwhelmed... but they will eventually ask.  so I better do that today, even though it has no Dopamine value...

Great Start... I have not done any of these yet today...

So far today, I got distracted by my 

  • AV cart and Desk HDMI switch project...  In Progress] - 05/19/2021 - Update AV Cart.  
Which is not really that important right now.  Probably not going to use it much till next school year in Aug. 

I did finalize a Guest Speaker for class tomorrow.

  • [Done] - 05/19/2021 - Update Guest Speaker plan for tomorrow

I really need to work on the SVeF labs...
