Dear Diary,
This morning I
got up with a fight awake. The road was clear and there was only one Georgian
girl that came in to fill the maxi. Thankfully we did not get into trouble to
cross the road. The assembly was long and Miss Jones was having her awards as
part of the assembly. I didn't understand why it had to be part of the
assembly. This was probably the reason why it took so long for class to begin.
We only had one
period or piece of one period with 2M. Miss Gittins gave me the numbers for the
journal booklets and then I went to get prepared for the first class. I met “Jess”
out in the corridor. She told me to go and get two 2M by the time but while I
met her back in the lobby, she said to go to the music room and make sure that
they didn't lock up the door.
However, when I
met “Miss Alicia” I saw “Miss Gloria” and she said that she had locked up the
room. “Miss Gloria” got vexed that Jess didn't have her keys. Another guard
came to open up for us. The class got to practice the college song and had to
leave quickly. I brought down 1L to the music room. The Muslim students got to
sit outside by the back of the room and the students practiced singing the Mangoes
song before going into their separate groups.
It was nice to
see the children try the African drums but they seriously needed to work out
their rhythmic pattern. “Jess” and I tried to get energy. We were both exhausted
at recess time. We waited for the free students from 2M to come back and do the
college song worksheet. This worksheet would have been 25 marks was their
coursework.
We both left the
room and I took a while to fix up to go to 2F. She was already there and did
the G major scale notation on the whiteboard. She introduced them to Indian
classical Sargam and listed some instruments and genres that related to Indian
classical music. Today was very difficult to go through. Somehow I felt
alienated. I sat on the bench outside the art room doing my journal entry.
I met “Ash” out
in the same corridor and he was asking about the required clothing to leave the
compound during this aid period. I wasn't sure how to guide him so I told him
he could ask his mom. Suvir shared with me a secret about coconut oil. I'm not
sure if I'll be able to try it out or if I'll remember when I get the time.
Miss Harris and
her mom sat outside Mr. Baines' woodwork room while I wrote the entry. I met
Miss Susan outside the staff room. Again she didn't tell me anything about “Maria”
being absent. Not sure if she is still angry with me for not helping out at
sports day. I went home to play some music. The Phoenix was sent to recovery.
I played some
music and got the donation card and the memorial donation card cut out by the
guillotine. Some of the spacing was too small. I will have to make the margins
smaller to have them less corrupted. I got tired and could not work on typing
for church again. It seems like the simple work is going to take some more time
and effort than required but I still feel confident that I'll be able to do it.
Lord Jesus be my help and guide.
