Dear Diary,
This morning was a repeat of
yesterday's morning plus, it was the morning after Monday. So I felt double
plus the ten nights of less sleep. I couldn't get my eyes to open. Ended up
playing music while I went to shower and it lightly helped me to awake. The bus
driver this morning was "Robin". He was speaking to a passenger about
wanting to purchase a vehicle from the relative "real bad". I thought
of the book for Miss Robin and planned to call the school.
As soon as I got out of the bus
the light turned red. I did not know if there was an accident or something but
there was a lot of jam on the other side of the traffic light's direction. As
soon as the light turned green no one could move. The Sixth Avenue began to
pile up with cars down to the shop where I waved to Mr Shawh. A few teachers
were still coming in for the morning. Assembly was in progress. I ended up
going to pay for the pies one time.
On my way back I realised that
the first two periods were free. I thought we had them right after the roll
call. I started to work on the 2L parang assignments. I feel like I will leave
it with Jess to do since there are some things she might like to see in them. I
took the 2L papers to begin grading them and then surprisingly I saw her
chatting with "Nia".
Jess was all over the staffroom
before coming to see me. I told her that I took the papers to grade for her and
that I was preparing to set up the markbook. She allowed me to come with her or
stay but told me to stay and still mark the groups in class. I remembered one
girl asking me to ask Jess to postpone the presentations for today. This was as
I was walking into the compound to the staffroom.
I made my way to the music room
at recess time. She had locked the door like me from yesterday. It was nice to
see "Michael" again and he spoke with me before departing to his
class. I began to set up my laptop my the teacher's desk at the front and then
work on inserting marks I was able to get the class list of names for 1L from
the attendance sheet. Somehow I will have to get a 1M listing.
Somewhere inside of the fifth and
sixth periods, Mr Marcelle came. I remember that Mel was going to get copies. I
hope they came out alright. Jess was busy being up and down while I did all the
work by myself. She did not sit down and go through the work. The practice
began and I did not even have the time to go over in the other room or even to
assist.
Sir had left early today. He
thought that we were not having Teachers Band practice today like me. That kind
of gave me some more time to work out the song transcription. I stayed by that
seat until 2:40 and then packed up. I gave Jess a listing of the things that
she needs to accomplish overnight for us to fix tomorrow. Mel and everyone were
gone by the time I got back to the staffroom. I had a lot to pack up and then
go. "Susan" was asking me if they told me they were going and I said
no. "Celia" took my last copy of the punctuality and regularity form
to make copies.
The road felt clustered still.
Only when I had passed the Anglican primary school I was shocked that the whole
day went by and forgot to call them as well as Tunapuna. I had TwinK this
evening. I had gotten four paintings done before 7 PM. There was a need for an emergency
meeting at 8 PM. It may have taken up my journal typing time for the night but
it was good progress. Thankfully it was just an hour.
I went to try today's entry which
just took one full hour. I could not do any typing after. Maybe it will be good
to do that in school tomorrow. I did not even have time to write up my
timesheet so that will have to be done somewhere in the first period of school.
My eyes were starting to hurt again so it was immediately bedtime. I left the
painting for tomorrow when I got home again.
