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.
