Colleges often do a day in the life. I thought I would do one:

Before school
7:20 AM: Meet with Dr Reilly to go over college recommendation letter by providing him with a copy of my most recent [[Personal Update]].
7:30 AM: Entprenureship class: activities to learn people's names, watch presentations
Jacket
9AM: Homeroom, tell homeroom teacher I am going to [[H-Vision]] (student television) meeting. Greet new members and set up dates for anchor and technical pratice
9:16AM: [[Humanities]] class with Mr. Mullen in a different room due to painting; write and edit college essay, as well as assist other student's with their's; help calm student who realized she forgot to answer the prompt in her letter
10:25PM: Quick hello to my girlfriend who aks me if I want to see Joe Biden at Linvilla Orchards tomorrow night. Oh yes!
10:30AM: Meeting with the principal to present [[Videre]], my [[Gov School]] project to improve online gradebooks, as well as update him on my work with [[SeniorQuoter]] and [[SocialView]]
11:20AM: Make it back to class in time to see 10 minutes of the movie showing in [[Business Law]], (title)
11:30AM: Lunch; stop by guidance counselor to check if she was able to convince the department to accept the forms electronically; eat 5 min of my lunch to find that Mrs. Fish, the school's publications director is trying to frantically find me
11:40AM: The tech department is rewiring the room to not use a hub or router. Mrs. Fish is very concerned that stuff will break. The rewiring messes up file sharing and network printing, so I revert the network 5 min after the man leaves and console MRs. Fish that everything will work. I stay into the rest of 3rd block putting away extra wires she has laying around and putting away old equipment.
??: Go to 4th block, [[Calculus]]. Go over the test I got a 92% on; argue about getting a point back I think I deserve; Talk about ___ (Paste notes)
2:22PM: Head over to the schools admin offices for my scheduled meeting with the directory of technology: show off [[Videre]] again, give an update on [[SeniorQuoter]] and [[Tecker 911]] being back; give my thoughts on how to improve [[Classrooms of the Future]] by bosting the log in time (the admins don't ever really use the tech so they don't know what drives kids crazy; agree that the domain log in seems longer; propose system that only requires log in for accessing your files;
~3:45PM Mr. McGriff (9th Grade Principal) walks in with Dallas Cowboys hat on (with an Eagles game tonight) rallying up outrage from his support of the Cowboys, asks if I know of anything for building a family tree or way to connect his family, suggest [http://ning.com Ning] and he asks if collecting student's cell numbers for sending text messages was a good idea, I tell him only if the purpose for collecting them was clear (the school was not doing it for trying to catch people using phones in school)
~4:44 Look at pics on the wall from Tech Time, the computer club in middle school; talk to the network guy about the slow booting laptops; complain about how our school won't submit the counselor forms electronically: it seems like so much less work; talk about how the IRS should charge for paper filing and make E-filing free
~4:30PM: Talk about what will happen with the publications office; admins not happy it was flying under the rador; advocate from Mrs. Fish saying she needs this stuff to work; admins say this was the first time they knew she needed file sharing and that sharing should work over the school's network, but firewall is blocking file sharing; will try to fix tomorrow
5:40PM: Leave and call my mom and dad tying to see if I can get a ride home; no luck; start to walk
5:45PM: My [[GridView]] employee calls me about questions with some work I set him; I give him an overview of what to do as I dodge traffic walking home
6:00PM Neighbor I helped with their computers sees me walking home and offers to give me a ride
6:05PM Write this day in the life while it is still fresh

+Colleges often do a day in the life.  I thought I would do one:  This is an authentic "this is what happened on 9/15/2008", unlike many days in the life which are fabricated from typical things people do.  In addition, I did not know that I was going to to a day in the life for today when the day started.  It represents an a-typical day, I'll be honest; most days include just a little less what happened to me on this Mon.
