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.
