Dear Diary,

    This morning was another difficult challenge to get up. Only at 7:10, I got up to shower. Thank God I made it just in time for school. Assembly time was very quick. I saw Miss Harris and her children out in Barataria for a ride to school. She was there by the time I walked into the staffroom. There was no sign of Jess as yet. Still feeling very tired and hungry. Looked like they cleaned the kitchen. I loved the Margarine smell but now it's upsetting with the replacement of bleach.

    I went to the cafeteria. On my way there Mrs Solomon was now coming in by the waiting corridor. She spoke to me about the catalogue cards. Since we did not have internet we planned to meet at lunchtime tomorrow. Aaron and “Gabby” were liming in the hall as I walked over. There was a new boy who served me the pies this morning. Mr Richard asked if I wanted more pepper and he said sure when I said yes.

    I wasn’t sure if Jess or Roberts were in the office but it was the same green colour as I was about to wear as well. I’m glad I didn’t because “AJ”, “Hams” and Mrs “Choti-Ram” had those colours on. As I looked on it looked like Maroon or green was the colour for the day. As I was eating, Jess said that she had some documents to print for the Form 4s and asked for me to collect them at recess time. She also spoke with me about the master timetable to be made for this academic year.

    Soon Donna came in making a joke about someone vomiting in the kitchen. She also made a joke about me having “fun” in the staffroom. It seemed as though she was mentioning me about writing in the journal and we laughed. Mrs Santana got the “That’s What Friends Are For” score copy that was left for her. She made a joke about friends and Miss Dayna laughed while I was having my Channa pies. They were good and hit the spot but what was not good was my drink from the fridge going missing just so.

    Haven’t seen Dr Allisson for these past two days. I wish I could take days off like her when she needed them. Jess and I had 1F in the third period. As soon as I made the corner to the music room, she said we would go to 1F homeroom instead. The same was done with 1L yesterday. The time took longer to go. Had to use the washroom quickly as I got back to the staffroom. I got the copies after having time to go back and ask Jess for the number of copies in her email she wanted.

    The Form 4s had their SBA session today. I got pictures from “Gabby” notes of yesterday and today. Today’s topic was the rationale, instrumentation (in a table, instrument family, class, timestamp of entry), genre, and expressive features (Dynamics, Tempo, Articulation). We had a few minutes and only the Bhajan was played.

    Panorana practice was on today and Mr Marcelle said that after the meeting he chose the song “Out and Bad” as the tune of choice after experiencing the meeting from last evening after school. He also mentioned that he was going to begin the introduction immediately which he doesn’t usually do first. Everyone in the practice was given the rhythm and I began to score the rhythm while other students wrote out their music in copybooks. He got to see the scoring and agreed on the difficulty of moving from crotchet beats to minim’s cut-time.

    Later that afternoon, I went to visit Isa and he printed a version of the fused ‘cat’ and ‘sub’ card. He used a different software from Adobe to line up the documents properly The other separate cards were made by me on Microsoft as a test and they didn’t line up. Isa said that it was best for me to recreate the document as a single sheet and he will make the software duplicate them on a page.

    In my hands, I was then left with a tight decision to make. I busted the joke to Isa and Daddy that I had to choose between the two types of cards as if a doctor was asking me if I wanted twins (being obedient) or the only single child alone (‘rebellious’). We had a good laugh at the word rebellious too concerning myself.

    A stop at Vashni was made for markers. I saw that they had book ends but Avion didn’t know where I could get them. The second of two COAG songs got chord symbols inserted tonight. I also got strums to work after a long stressful trial of making them work. Hopefully, both songs will be completed by the end of next week.
