Dear
Diary,
Today
was the start of the new school term. There were four Georgian students with me
in the maxi this morning. I will admit it was too difficult to wake up. ‘Mr.
Nick’ and Mr. Eric’ was there by the guard booth and they logged me into their
book. I attended the assembly as usual and at the end, it was a surprise to
hear Dr. Sookdeo ask for the students to sing the college song. I was waiting excitedly
to hear how the students would have done it.
I
wished that the steelband would have been able to play it for a better
experience. She was right when she said that the students did not know the song
so I hope that next term I would be able to teach them the song properly.
I
headed back to my desk and remained there for the entire day except for the fourth
and fifth periods where we had a staff meeting before lunchtime. I did not
teach that day because the first period was stolen from me with everyone’s home
period. I could not do what I had planned to go through with the students.
Instead, I went through my to-do list book and plan out things that I had to
get done.
The
staff meeting was eventful and very troublesome with so many problems and
issues arising. We were also told that two of the bus shuttle drivers had quit
the job because of no payment and the last rip left at 4:28 that evening.
When
I got back to the office, I saw that my Subject Register was going to be
printed by a teacher to use for the term. Seventeen copies were made and sent
off to the class. I was very happy to see that.
As
soon as I got home, I went right ahead and uploaded the St. George’s College
song video. Before I could even do that, I had to do over a recording of the
Musescore file playing out the song. The experimental version had difficulty.
Thankfully, this did not take me more than ten minutes to do and the uploading.
Looking back at the video, I felt satisfied that the song came out well but I did not like having to wait and be stalled for a week. I still hope that this recording would be useful to teach the students the song.
