Dear
Diary,
We
had a nice empty road to school today. The ride in the maxi was short. Wished
it was nice like that every day. Assembly went on late and I ended up sitting
down on a bench waiting for my class with 1M. I had an interesting chat with
Miss Santana. Miss Roberts’ Form 5s came walking up to me as the chat was about
to begin. They didn’t see Miss Roberts and my exam with 1M was about to begin.
Dr Sookdeo was able to handle the situation for them.
A
satisfactory number of students were there that day. Sadly, one girl only drew
nice pictures on the paper. She wasn’t able to answer the questions. I got a
call from daddy in the middle of the exam. He told me that mama’s funeral would
be today and that they would be going to the cemetery for her burial at two in
the afternoon. I told him to let them go on without me.
As
soon as I finished with 1M and got back the papers we had three more minutes
for the double period to complete. I went to the office and got about seven
papers graded but did not feel so well afterwards. Miss Roberts was not there
again and I did not feel strong enough to climb those stairs.
I
went to the art room to see if more painting like yesterday would help me but
it didn’t work. I spent some time chatting with Miss Gittens and Miss Mary
again. I would have had 2L later that afternoon to supervise but one teacher
was assigned supervision for that class and I went back down the stairs.
I
felt better some hours after school. Had to walk all the way from Curepe
junction, up the hill and walk up the road to get to Home #2. Everyone was at
the funeral. Had a very awful problem that night. Had to rest on the couch.
