It was a pretty good day today. Work went smoothly and I was able to get enough done to feel a sense of accomplishment. So, that always makes the day a good day.

Tonight was Michaela's SOAR night. They do two of these a year to show off what they've been working on during the semester. She had a bank she'd made out of recycled stuff. It was very creative. She had also worked with a group of three other students earlier in the year to design and build a building.

Her group built a recreation complex. They did a really great job on it. Michaela and her best friend Anikca also worked on a video about recycling, but her SOAR teachers could not find it on the server to bring it up. So, they are going to burn it to CD and send it home because it sounds like it only got saved to the computer in the classroom and not on the server.

It was very crowded at the school where this was held. Michael's parents came up to see what Michaela had worked on. She really enjoyed that. She was uspet about her video not being on display, though. I felt badly for her.
