Dear Diary,
Got up late this
morning. I ended up sleeping on my couch. There was a short wait for the maxi
to fill and then “Miss Anderson” sat next to me. There were four Georgians in
the maxi this morning. As I got into the office, only Aficia was there. There
was no principal and no Vice-Principal present on some days. I was surprised to
see that Dr. Allison was not there. I remember that she had stepped down from
the acting.
Instead of going
to Block C, I went to see if “Jess” was there. She was on the couch going
through her phone. We planned to meet at 11 o'clock to write maths again. I met
Miss Gittens and Miss Mary outside down the corridor. We had a good chat about
the library in my church before going to work. They gave me some good advice.
I gave Miss a
bag of red mangoes that I had as a snack during recess. Miss Jones and I had a
good chat too in the Theatre Arts room. There was a suspicious white bone that
was fresh and flies were around it in the grassy area outside of her classroom.
She said that the safety officer didn't find it concerning to him.
I went back to
Block C's staff room, but “Jess” was not there. I hope she will know how to
enter the marks herself. I met her outside of Mr. Bain's class waiting. She's
got her test papers to do the tally. We worked on some from 12 and then had to
rush over to her choir rehearsal. Mrs. Jaikaran made a joke after seeing me
comb my hair and laughing. She was busy laughing as she stood by the door for a
long while and forgot that she was going outside. She did not go outside again.
Soon, Miss came
back and she got the test papers sorted. Miss Jones was a bit late. I got the 1F
class divided into theatre on the right and visual arts on the left. This was
1F's exam in the afternoon. The theatre arts students didn't know how GAIT was
defined and there were problems with three performance techniques based on
mind, body, and voice. The students were dismissed at 2 PM from the examination
room. Riley wasn't feeling so good.
I waited for the
art students to finish their exams. I took early submissions at 2:15 PM and
gradually the students left. Brad seemed very confused here and there. I met
Miss Jones in 1L to return her theatre arts papers. All of one of them had
already left.
As I was about
to rest the art papers from Miss Gittin's inbox, she called me out from by the
bench. Miss Jones was there too and we had a good conversation. I gave Miss
Gittens the papers and went to Block C. She gave me the papers to mark the
Egyptian pictures part of the exam. I marked that section for all the Form 1
papers in less than six minutes.
Soon, Auntie
Vanjie called me to confirm that she was outside. We were going to Trincity for
lunch but ended up going to churches instead. There were a lot of workers
inside. There were plenty of young people in the back. We got Auntie Ruth to
finally come for a short line there since they don't come out. We ended up
playing five rounds of Rumi while the rain came down strong in several showers.
I ended up winning three of the five rounds.
Because I did
not have my gate key with me, I had to walk in. Daddy called me and said that
the rain was going to be very heavy tomorrow. He said that he would have to
wait if the pouring was too heavy and then come up.
I do not feel like
going to school at all tomorrow but I need to be there to assist Mrs. Allen
Brown with the school uniform policy that she had requested me to create. She
said that usually, this is the section in the student's manual that parents and
students forget. I hope that “Jess” can get work completed tomorrow. She has a
lot to do and has not been working as she should.
