Dear Diary,

    Today I got to school just in time. Jess was already there. I needed a while to settle in. When the time came for class with 2L, she was not there. I met her in 2F and said that Roberts had taken the music room, so she was going back to the class. The children were coming in late. They were given a review of ledger lines.

    As usual, not many of them had their orange ABRSM books, so I was asked to go and make copies. There was a problem that I didn't know how to fix with the prints. Luckily, Miss Ali was there to assist me. She instead folded the book in half, and it came out good. Only the name of the topic didn't come out, but that was fine. When I got back and it was time to share the copies, more students began to mention that they needed them. I had to go back for a few more sheets.

    3M came to meet us, and Roberts had to use the room still. We had class, and I worked on the writing for the last lesson in the workbook while we listened to the groups. Matthew was trying to recreate a melody for his group's song. They used the Curry Tabanca melody but didn't realise they had to create the melody too. I got the writing done and then went to breakfast as it was one minute to recess. The pies were good and had enough pepper today. I was surprised that the front doors of the school were locked, so I had to go all the way around to wash my hands first before getting to my table.

    At the end of recess, I went over to the office for the rest of the working day. The fifth and sixth periods were used to complete the music notation for the last lesson. Also, Patty brought out the visitor's passes that we were trying to make. She said that she was able to get the front part of them in the plastic. She found the other side that I had cut last week, on Wednesday, on the bookshelf and handed them to me to put in the rest, saying that someone had gone away with number six. She realised that there was a lot more, but we were out of plastic pockets.

    Miss Baka and Candice were chatting the whole time while out in front of me. "Jan" and her Form student were in the office. Someone had soaked all of his clothing. Lunchtime had to pass before his parent came to pick him up. The student and I spoke about the music alphabet while I worked on the passes. I went to the hall to enjoy watching Jessie and "Kia" play team table tennis against Steffon and "EB".

    The rest of the evening was spent by me at the computer working on the punctuality and regularity file. I was able to work on profiles up to teacher number 30. I thought that I would be able to work on Korean when I got home, but ended up doing nothing, sadly. I had a good chat with John instead.

    I shared with him the special experience of meeting with Mr Hanooman and handing over the booklets that were made for the school. We spoke about his busy work for the school concert they are planning for Carnival. He said that he would try to work on the Tacarigua music to get to me, and another one to work on. We also spoke about George’s and the change from Valsayn back to Barataria, and the school song that I did for them.

    The most I could have done for the night was download images of the library books to work on the letter for the church, sometimes this week. It is becoming very exhausting after getting home from school these evenings. On a brighter note, it was nice being given a Valentine's gift today with a small pouch of chocolates.
