I unfortunately have a full weekend calendar; I have the practicum again tomorrow, and then on Saturday I had volunteered to help Veronica with a program she helps with that is designed to teach young girls math. It's called the Go Girls. I have to do the practicum diaries from last week still, and then the one from today, and I also have the revisions that I would really like to finish up. (I have ideas, but more than will fit into the story; plus, it takes a lot of effort to get them down.) Julie expects me to show up to watch bad movies tomorrow, which, you know, sucks up that few hours of my life. So I probably will avoid posting much. Not that anyone is losing sleep over it. If anyone sees me post, feel free to chastise me.

On a slightly more positive note, this afternoon after trying to teach 30 really bitchy education-school undergrads the rudiments of research, I went back to the library office to work on the study guide that I am supposed to be designing as the Project I have to do for my practicum. It's a compendium of all those stupid college rankings that the U.S. News and World Report issue every year; apparently this is extraordinarilly popular information for students. So I was fooling about with the format, and I sort of decided that I wanted to have anchors that linked directly to the rankings for schools of law, medicine, education, etc. Veronica didn't think it would be possible, because the pages are designed using a template, but that if I could figure out a way to do it, she would be enormously appreciative. She lent me her HTML book, and then left for the day. 15 minutes later I had the anchors up and working perfectly. The webpage is still really unattractive, but I'm working with the format so that it won't be so damn boring.

Tonight, while avoiding doing anything I needed to do, I watched an episode of The Avengers. I so love Mrs. Peel; she's like the Ur-Sydney Bristow.
