Dear Diary,
This morning I woke up and fell
back asleep. My weekend had been taken away from me with the need to go to
Panorama practice. This weekend will be both Saturday and Sunday. I did not
have breakfast. Somehow I thought of "Jay-22" today. I got ready in
casual clothing. I was originally planning to wear the blue Mitchell House
T-shirt. I saw a green one and chose that along with my purple plaid short
pants. I knew it would be a long day and the heat would make me need some air.
After walking out of the road, I
laughed about the choice with Daddy. I told him that it left like I was going
to Town to play lawn tennis instead. The outfit did look that way. The bus
route was scary. Only one maxi was on the road and the rest was empty. A nice
lady was driving. I sat in the front row behind and I was giving a Jehovah's
Witness pamphlet on the topic "Who Created the World".
Sixth Avenue was hotter than a
regular school day. I was completely wet by the time I got to the schoolyard. I
saw Miss in the hall when she called me out. Surprisingly she had on the same
Mitchell House shirt that I was looking for. I told her the same but then
mentioned that it was good I didn't because if any hillviewers saw me in it
they would have thought that I was betraying them. She told me that the
staffroom was open so I went to cool out.
It took me exactly an entire hour
to start and complete the journal entry for yesterday. I got to school with the
phone battery at six per cent. After falling asleep on the couch the night
before, I didn't get to charge it. I even forgot the charger at home too. Miss
told me that Jess was coming late. We spoke about the tickets form and said
that there were over sixty tickets handed out. The children were with Mr
Marcelle in the pan room practising. They were working on a new section.
When Jess came down she handed me
two empty envelopes to give Mel. I went back up to the hall. The feeling of the
empty Form 2 classrooms and school was a completely different experience altogether.
Miss wrote out the names of the children who paid and placed the money in the
envelope, which was then sent back to Jess. "Mr Barbour" came to the
hall to ask me to help him with something. The children were in the classroom
so that means that they were on break.
Jess and Mr Marcelle were trying
out something. When I was finishing up one of the journal entries then joined
them. As I was pulling out my pansticks, Jess liked that I had pockets for the pansticks
and she had a long dress without pockets. Sir played the Double Tenor part and
Jess and I were trying to figure out an insert. This that we worked on was
taught to the students when returning from their recess.
I went back to typing up the rest
of of journal entries for the rest of week eighty-five. The typing was a lot
and my hand was hurting from holding the cell phone in my hand all the time.
Daddy called me from the phone at 1:30 to ask what time I would be coming up. I
told him at 2 PM. Jess and her mother left early from their ride. She did not see
the keys for the room to lock up. Mr Marcelle packed up and left the room. The
guard probably didn't know that they had to lock back.
Mel, Sir and I waited back
because of the heavy rain that broke out. I knew there was bright light but
when the door in the music room opened, there was a very dark sky. We ended up
waiting for the rain to ease up. Three boys travelled out and we still had to
wait for "Mr Haynes" father to pick him up. The three of us left the
compound at 4:20.
Mr Marcelle hurried to his home
before the rain wet his electronic devices. Miss and I saw Jessie and we gave
him a wave. I was going to invite him to come to practice. Miss went to the
grocery before the bus route. I almost fell crossing the wet road. An impatient
driver almost bounced us over. Thankfully there was a bus to take us. Had to
wake her up at her stop.
There were only a few minutes
when I had settled at home before our meeting to fix the Form 2 paper. Some of
the images were changed for the Christmas season. We had some issues with
English when it came to rows and columns in one of the questions. I ended the
meeting after sending the final product. I did some uploading on the Blogger
for a week of school that was typed up today. Tomorrow I hope to complete the
typing of another week.
