Dear Diary,
This morning I
felt like I was in church when Daddy asked me how I was feeling. He too said he
was not feeling good. I tried to get up and get ready for school. Two Georgians
were in a maxi with me. I saw “Jan” and Hamlet signing in the office while I
got the OJT book to sign.
The office was empty,
unlike yesterday. Dr. Allison met me in the corridor on my way to block A. She
said she would continue with the later absences and whenever I'm free we would
work out the figures together. Didn't have time for breakfast since class was
about to start.
I had to wait on
“Jess”. She went through F major and C major scales for their midterm. I was
not sure if they would let me set the test. “Jess” said that she wasn't feeling
so good in the corridor. She did a major scale transcription for the C major
and F major scales. Afterwards, she had to leave. Instead of getting to correct
all, Miss Harris took all the children out of the building for a class
photograph.
When I exited
the 2M classroom, I met “Miss Gloria” and the principal in the corridor way.
The principal was picking up a piece of garbage from the ground and throwing it
in the bin. She did meet with me and told me that she noticed I was in the Block
K staff room. It was hurting that she had asked me to leave the staff room and
move over to K. It was hurtful after all the inconveniences faced in the office
and now being evicted. So I tried to knock it off my mind and tried to go and
see if the meeting was still in place.
I went to join “Jess”,
Miss Gittens and Miss Jones for the VAPA meeting. It was strange how Miss
Roberts didn't come to join us. They took a long time to see 1L. Joseph from UWI
was there. He got a bit taller and it looked good. I went to 1L and then began
the lesson for “Jess.” She had to speak with Joseph. He did mention that he was
a moderator for CXC.
I continued the
rest of the lesson when Jess entered. 1L was given the same teaching from 2M
previously done this morning. Two girls were asked to read their poems before
the dismissal for recess time. It was nice of Mr. Samlall to ask questions. Mr
Ali was also there after a long time of absence. Not sure if he understood the
work. It looked like the line of Muslim students at the back of the class was
getting longer.
After having my
cheese pie at recess we got 2F down to the music room. It seemed as if a
student was given a message to bring the children down to the music room. They
were moving out the steel pan instruments from the music room when I got there.
At first, I did not know why but it seemed as if Ms. Roberts did not want the
noise. She had a meeting with her Form 5 students in her office. I stayed back
after for Ari, Ms. Noel, Aaliyah and Che to help the others practice the melody
of the school song. I sat down in block A until the end of lunch.
Dr. Allison
looked surprised to see me. She said, “What! Yuh rell on time, boy!” She opened
the door and we went in. She told me that part of the VAPA and the modern
languages were ready for insertion into the Excel sheet that I had created. We
sat there in the Vice Principal's office and got the match completed. Sometimes
towards the middle of the eighth period, we had accomplished March 2024.
The principal was
not very nice to Dr. Allison and it did not look good at all. I felt very sorry
for Sr Allison. This evening too I had a travel out. As we were driving up I
saw “Saga-Boy Andy” driving downwards as I was going upwards to Curepe.
That same night “Ash”
could not do class. I told them the next week we would meet up and went on to
work on finishing the Church of Almighty God song called “God's Arrangements
for All People's Outcome.” The plan was to do Yesu Nam but the feeling was not
for it tonight.
Instead, there
was a five-minute song that was done until the first three minutes of the
melody's transcription. The time was 10:47 PM and I couldn't do anything else
for the remainder of the night. I had to go and rest immediately because no
strength was available again for me to stay awake.
