Dear Diary,
This morning, I
finally made it to George's. In Curepe, I had to wait after four vehicles went.
A nice bus with Brook Lidgertwood played “Broken Vessels” and another good one.
I walked on the pavement alongside “Gabby” on the other side. I sat and ate
breakfast while Mel looked at her form-class artwork. She said her phone needed
space, and then she could try downloading the GPT notes that I suggested to get
her letters typed out.
I got working on
yesterday's entries in the music room. Only Kaydon was there for the Upper 6
class. Jess and Kaydon spoke about the project and assigned him homework. I worked
on the journal. Then we were about 8 minutes late for our class with 1F. The
same was repeated with 1L yesterday, including forgetting to take a picture of
the notes on the board. More time was spent on the college song once the
steelpan arranging was played.
Recess was quick
to finish. The pitch labelling exercise would be done as Homework. Miss Rivas had
announcements: (1) Tiling for classrooms, (2) Air conditions remaining on, and
(3) Lunches under children's desks. Jess and I went to the music room after
that note. The Form 4 students came late.
We did some work
on the students’ interview questions. I was used first as a pretend for Erphaan
Alves. There were many jokes when I did not know who the person was or some of
the songs. Joshua was asked to try practising the interview with Jess who pretended
to be Nailah Blackman. We went to the Pan room to work on scales for a long.
The two pieces were done after. Only at lunchtime before they left, Jess asked
us to play the Presbyterian Bhajan.
The choir
members came and she asked me to write out the words “Rise Up,” “Count on Me”,
and “Winner” on the whiteboard. The chords were there already. Not sure if the TTUTA
meeting was going on in the staffroom. Aaron* played the piano and there was a
nice one that he did separate from his regular repeats. It could have been one
for graded exams.
The staffroom
was empty and children were lined up by their prefects. Jess came in and was
speaking with Mrs Allen-Browne about the 1L boy who could not do much in music.
Felt like going home early afterwards. I sat down hoping that the dark clouds
would go away. I called Daddy and left after school.
That night the
chord finder did not want to work so I ended up doing the transcription for “Trini
to De Bone.” Chord finder suggested three and I saw they lasted the entire
song. I resaved the file to an arrangement file to try something different. I
removed the weird-sounding bridge part in between each verse. I had the first
two bars inserted for “This is My Flag” and am waiting to finish it tomorrow
night. Not sure how the song will work with strummings. The same feeling came
for “Trini To de Bone”.
From 9:34 to
10:30, I worked on the Survival game. Still did not remember to look for the
name of it. It was going to be bedtime soon the way my eyelids felt like it was
swelling and there was a heavyweight. Mel and I didn’t get to download the app
again. Maybe tomorrow we will have time hopefully.
