Dear Diary,
This morning the
waking was not so difficult. Daddy was surprised that I got up quickly. There
was a bus waiting at the red light as soon as I got across the bus route. The
ride was long somehow. As soon as I went walking down Sixth Avenue, I saw Mr
Charles already far down the road. Two Georgian girls were behind me talking
about how they would rather so their hair the whole walk. The atmosphere felt
very cool. It was only by the time that I rested my bags in the staffroom and walked
up to the cafe that I saw the sky darkening.
2M class was
singing Happy Birthday for someone as I was walking away from the staffroom. I bopped
back into the staffroom and was greeted by "Choo Choo". I saw Indera
there signing, but didn't bother to pester her so early to find out when we
will be working on the lateness and absences. As soon as I signed the date in
my logbook, I headed up the date in the OJT Attendance book. I realised that it
was Day 4 today instead of Day 5.
When checking my
timetable, I realised that we had class for the first six periods of the day. I
got up to get my stuff and hurried down to the music room. The students were
not in their home class. Jess was now getting the children to take out their
books with their lyrics. None of them had a track for their songs, so it looked
like this was the session for the day. Many of the groups looked like they did
not work on any more verses to make the song full. I saw a nice King James
Bible on the old desk that Roberts used. It had belonged to "EB", and
it had the red writing in it.
I sat by a desk
in the back to type all of this for the morning so far, then to work on the
workbook. I am praying that ideas can flow into my head for the later topics.
The class with 2l ran into 9:54. Thankfully, the 3M students knew to come by
the music room. Rain was pouring heavily outside. They were asked to resit back
into their groups. It seems like this class will be like the previous class. I
left the room exactly at recess time and then went to get the pies. They were
cooled down by this time, and the pepper was good enough.
By the time I
was finished eating and had cleaned my plate, the time for recess was over. I
went to the office and saw that they had cleaned down the entire front desk. It
looked very clean. A dean's matter was going on between two students, probably
of two different form levels, as Mrs Allen-Brown and Mr Marlon were dealing
with paperwork. I sat there for a while, and it looked like they were busy.
While doing music for the book alone, Patty came back and saw that I was writing
music, and she offered if I wanted to help with the work for Miss Paul.
Candice came out
and showed me a template that they used. This same document was used for the
Sick Leaves and Occasional Leaves for each year, for each month. I took a seat,
and she went to look for something in the Principal's Office, which was in a
mess for the whole academic year thus far. She came back with a very old, blue
casebound notebook. It had tables and handwriting. The guidance officer came
for copies, which gave me time to pray over the book. It looked confusing, but
as I focused on Miss Paul's row, there was an SL row and an OL row, but it recorded
the full year from January to December for each teacher.
It looked like
they would have been glad to have the forms that I made at that time. I feel like
if I get time, I will do over the book for them digitally. Only a few minutes
into the seventh period, I was able to complete the work. Candice said that the
last row would need a total of everything from 2009 to 2014. I decided to put
an annual tally for each year and then total all those totals to get the final
amounts. I had to leave the file like that since Candice remained chatting away
on her phone. It would have been nice if she could have stopped for me to see
the document completed and signed. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to find out
the runnings of the rest.
Patty spoked
with me after waiting and waiting for the call to over. She and I spoke about
the data entry that I did for the day. She asked if I was having fun, and I
said yes. I told her that it would be nice if I could do it over in the digital
form that I made. She took the comment out of my head and said that it would be
nice. The rest of the evening was dead. I didn't even realise that it was 2:35
after school. Jess was in the office doing something about the steelpan. It
sounded like the other competition with San Juan/ Barataria.
I packed up and
decided to go. Even Indera had her bags packed up to go. We did not get to have
our meeting to work on lateness and absences for the teachers. It was nice to
see her writing in the school's logbook while getting her to sign a leave form.
I assisted three parents in signing their children out today, and being at the
desk, I was useful in issuing the college stamp. The clouds were getting darker,
so I didn't bother to go back and speak to Patty; she looked busy with Jess. I
walked up the road and went to Curepe.
The ride was
long, but Daddy said that he found I got there quickly. He was still waiting
for Andrew to come up. Didn't have the money to do the music book work by Isa
today. Maybe tomorrow. I went home to have a Muslim barbecue. I ended up
painting 8 paintings that evening before going to complete the lessons I began
working on earlier today.
Afterwards, at
10:00 PM, I went to review some of George's Forms that were made in hopes that
Patty would be able to see and possibly approve them for use at the school. I
got two more paintings done before going to bed. I couldn't make it to finish
the third one. It was nice chatting with Miss Paul, too. Hopefully, she will be
able to find out the required information for things to work out.
