Dear Diary,
I came into St.
George's at Valsayn in a rush. Today was one of those sick and rushed-to-school
days. I finished my journal entry for yesterday in the second period. As I got
into 2M, even Jess told me that she was late on her way to school today. I sat
by the teacher's table for the whole session, near Seth, Suvir and Shiv.
Seth and Suvir
had to do over their lyrics because no one had their lyrics copied in their
notebooks. I could recall on my way into the compound, Mr Ghani was exiting
with his mum. He did not look so well, so I did not bother to ask him if he was
alright. Before the class got over, Jess showed me her example of lyrics on the
whiteboard. She had labelled 8 rows and wrote out the matching lyrics for 4
lines. She told me to work on lines 5 and 6, and that she would do lines 7 and
8 at the end of class. Seth and the boys next to the teacher's table laughed because
of the word I had written in line 6. We ended up running 4 minutes into the
third period, and I had to let Jess know.
We had 2L, 1L
after. I could remember Twinkler coming to ask for advice from me, but I
couldn't help the boy with the situation. He told me that Renako had the lyrics
and no one else had it. I ended up doing a big part of a new song for them.
Twinkler worked out a few of the words and the sentences. The other Jayden boy
and Caleb didn't bother to help. They were busy playing. I went to have
breakfast at recess and to see about me. I was very hungry and tired after that
4 periods.
At the end of
recess, I saw the 2F students walking out of the building. Some of them said
that Miss found the classroom to be too cold. Everyone in their group spread
out around the same corridor from Lock Cave into the cool breeze, and they
tried to put together their lyrics for the Extempo. Miss had to cut the class
short too because of an immediate staff meeting concerning Sports Day.
- Concern about not having money for Sports Day to run the entire day.
- Thoughts on cancelling the entire Sports Day event altogether.
- Meeting for Houses on Thursday or tomorrow to be decided.
- Brief assembly today in the hall after lunch (terminated by the Principal).
The principal
did not want to call a brief assembly in the hall after lunchtime. She found
that it would have interrupted the whole school, even though many of us in the
school found that the entire teaching periods were interrupted already. I went
to give Miss Kitten something again and to watch the marches for lunchtime.
I went to Block
Cave to continue the topic of ties. The topic on slurs in the same one may have
to be done tomorrow. The marching practice was about to continue when I went to
leave my things from the staff room in the art room and got packed up after
school. I had to heat my pie for lunch after school. Miss Kitten had to step
out again before I went to see the marches with the music. I felt sick and
tired.
On the drive to Curepe,
I told Maria that I would walk up to Daddy from the double stand. Miss Kitten
went to get something away from our direction in Persad’s Supermarket, and Zariel
went to buy doubles. I felt more tired by the time I got to the couch.
“Yash” had his
session of time signatures. It was a huge one and very difficult for him to
understand. It was a lot of work for him to cover, and it seemed like
everything was beginning to get clustered for both him and myself. He was also
now getting accustomed to the new time values from Minim Beats.
Daddy spent the
night again and forced me to eat late in the night. He said that he liked to do
snacking in the night when I asked him. I tried a fish after a while. It was
nice. I did not get my show again because of the late finish of class with
Yash. “Persons of Interest” was on TV, and that was my show for the night
instead. I tried a new bingo app, and it was fun. I hope that it works.
