Dear
Diary,
Today
I woke at 4:30 again and I got ready. I could make it to the UTT site at 7:07. I left my pencil case at home and did not feel comfy for the whole day. It
was early and I was in the outer part of the office alone I saw Miss Gittens
coming into the office to sign her attendance after I did. I could smell the
religious Hindi incense that Doctor would light when she is in her office. I
only saw her some minutes going to assembly when Miss Roberts called me on her
way down to the car.
Miss
Roberts asked me if I was interested in going to the SanFest competitions with
the students on Tuesday. I told her later that day that I would prefer to stay back
in school because of my class in the evening and that “I could also go and see
about some of her classes which she is out on that adventure.”
The
assembly went by sometime this morning. Dr Sookdeo told me that I was welcome
to join them in the hall. I did just that because I enjoyed being out there
listening to the things that the students had to say. The national anthem was
played by a girl from one of my Form One classes on a tenor pan. They ended up
keeping the instrument in the hall. It was better for carrying it back and
forth.
The
assembly ended up finishing an entire ten minutes into the first period. I was
late but I knew that the lesson to teach would have been very short. I had Form
One Leacock and the class was completed with twenty minutes to complete the
second period. I reviewed the pitches on the treble staff and then introduced
the Bass clef. The discussion was on the Grand staff and Middle C. The grand
staff chart was used. The same was done in the evening class. Both classes were
nightmares.
A
while before lunchtime I was in the library typing out a teacher’s class log. I
did not have my flash drives, so I had to do something new from scratch.
Miss Phillips gave me one that Miss Patel made and I transformed it into a
longer one that caters for twenty classes in a term. I hope that Miss Phillips
appreciates this and makes it easier for her to do her class logs. I did not
finish this form until I got home. Suddenly I began to feel too sleepy. I went
back to my desk in the administrative office and fell asleep for the rest of periods
four and five.
I
awoke nine minutes into lunchtime. I got up and went to the visual arts room
with the Form One book that I made to go visit Miss Gittens. We had a while to
wait because a cleaner came to see about the room. Miss Gittens gave me a pillowcase
to draw designs on; sometime before I left, she helped me put a whole liquid
within the shapes I drew. She said that the liquid helps to keep the wet fabric
paint. There was already some plastic placed on the inside of the pillow casing.
I had forgotten to take it home with me to work on it. I even stood out in the wet rain to get a taxi. I did not use the bus shuttle because daddy and I had to go to the bank, Charan’s, the barber, and Payless before all of them closed for the evening. The bank and Charan’s were a compromise. We got the shoes and went home.
