** Teachers' Day gift
Dear Diary,
I had a surprising
star today. “Mike” was the maxi driver again. He was super-fast on the road. I
had to hold on a lot during the trip to Valsayn. Miss Gittens met me in the art
room. She told me that it was Teachers’ Day. Miss Mary met us and we had a very
good lengthy conversation that morning before assembly finished.
I went to the
music room. Very noisy. I taught the crotchet and minim tree to 2L and they had
to create it on blank paper for homework. Exercise 3 was given to them for
homework. I locked up the music room and went to the staff room until recess
was over. There was a strange smell in there. Went outside quickly because of a
headache. I went out by the dark hall on the side of the corridor. Dark rain clouds
began to flood the sky.
I had my scrap notebook
with me to design and construct the time signatures exam for my Form 2s. It
took the full fifth and sixth periods to do so and also two minutes into
lunchtime. However, there was a stop to chat with “Miranda” when she asked me
to do the invitations for the George’s Awards. I told her, “Okay, sure. If I
can do it well, I can try.” We spoke about the interview and then she left.
Some students left a gift for her and I was asked to take the picture.
During
lunchtime, a girl from 1L came to do the make-up test. I thought “Yash” was going
to come. Instead, other Form 1 students came and asked if I could pen the music
room. Once I heard the question, I did not want to go all the way out to the
guard. It was raining. I took them to the door and had them wait to get it open
from the back. The back was locked. Had to go and get the keys from the guards
to open. I decided to leave the room open for later instead.
Returning to the
office, I graded the paper before the girl could return and she did very well by
passing the exam under my particular standard. The rest of lunchtime went by. I
had 2M. I got my bag and went up to the music room. A lot of talking happened throughout
this class. I had to shout at them for the first time. I did not like it but it
was becoming unbearable. I gave them the last exercise in the book to do for
homework.
At the end of class,
I looked in front of the coffin box and the keyboard was not returned. I did not bother to get angry. I walked at my
own pace. When I entered the library and walked up to Miss Solomon’s desk, I
asked if she knew where the students who brought the keyboard were still here.
I took up the keyboard and told her that I would take it myself. When I rested
on the desks in the music room, I didn’t want to answer my phone. I still
answered and it was Aunty Vangy. She told me that she came to pick me up but
I told her that I had to fix up and then
pack my bags. She said okay.
A student met me
halfway in the corridor with the keyboard stand. I had to walk back to the
music room after dropping the stand and setting the keyboard back because I had
forgotten to lock the room. It took me some time to pack and then use the
washroom and then I went to tell Miss Gittens and Susan that I was leaving
early. Aunty and I stopped off at Trinity first. We then went to FCMC and I met
Miss Ramsarran there. We had a stop at Price Mart and then to Massy’s before
getting home at 7:30 in the evening.
