Dear Diary,
This morning was
the second time I saw Kiel walking down to Lockhart Street for a maxi. “Miss
Gloria” was in the front seat in a very casual uniform. She was not in her
usual uniform and had on a long wig. Somehow I thought of “Mr. Das” last night.
I hope he is okay.
I went up to
Blockade as soon as I signed the logbook. No one was in the office until some
long while after. I had my pie while hearing “Patty” talk about Trinity East
turning to a government-assisted school and that the teachers were on strike.
There was a talk about Hillsview and Laximi girls before I left. It was nice to
see Mr Charles coming in and Mrs Santana and I had the same colour blue shirt
on.
Miss Pope and
her big volume came in so hard talk with “Jess” by Susan's Desk in Block C. It
went too much with Jess's loud laughing. “Jan” was there too. Shiva sat with me
eating his aloo pie and tried to find out which ex-boyfriend came to help Pope
clean up the garbage. I couldn't take any more of the noise so I went to fix
the leaving times in the OJT logbook. Seems as if everyone in the office were
having breakfast without me. Thankfully it no longer bothered me. I didn't see
Janice as yet.
As soon as I
walked into the staff room in Block C, the volume was there making noise and
the talking changed to the last day of school line. Will have to find a way to
get out of that. Got up to meet Dr. Allison in the office but took the long way
towards the music room side. Miss Gittins and Miss Mary were there. They spoke
with me for some time.
The head invigilator
was speaking about an issue with a student and that was the rest of lunch
towards the seventh period. There was a problem with Wi-Fi as usual. I had to
sit by the bench to get a connection on the laptop. The other invigilators came
back to get started with the examination. Today was painting and mixed media
exams in the art room. I had to get copies of the samples for Miss Gittins.
They looked like mark sheets and very neatly laid out.
Miss Mohammed
did not have any more Bristol boards in the store room. I was not sure when we
would be getting any more to buy. Today's session will need those post
submissions. I saw Janice in a lovely pink outfit this evening. Not sure if she
came in the afternoon after lunch. I stayed back in the cool breeze to continue
the journal entry. I hope that “Jess” is doing fine.
“Ash” was
sitting outside so I got the Gymnopedia number one score to give him and then
went to pack up. There was a nice lime in the library with Mrs. Solomon and I.
She showed me the software that the school had to purchase but she said that it
was for schools only and I learned that the software was called Alexandria.
There was another one that was called Serialist but she said that I should look
for one that is for churches.
I learned that
the software does cataloguing and membership as well as keeping track of
borrowed books and charging late returners but at 25 cents per day. She
mentioned that the cost would increase in a long time and the money could add
up. She also shared with me that at a time the money had added up to $400 in
late fees. Miss Harris was at the side of us looking in.
“Maria” and I
were both tired. We had to wait for Miss. She came in when the exam was over
and told us that she had the children's books stored away safely in the exam
room. We had an issue with not having enough birtol boards to make envelopes
for the official exams envelopes. I told her that we would be needing more
because I did not have any by me. Hopefully next week things will work out,
just I would have to do all the work and no help from Janice at all.
I got more work
done for Clarence and John's song with at least one minute each transcribed at
night. John said he was looking for pieces for his children to do for Mother's
Day and Father's Day. I still don't like the Chutney music that John gave me
but because it was John I will do it for him. I hope that somehow I'll be able
to work out “The Shape of My Heart” for Clarence just so that he will be able
to get something nice.
