Dear Diary,
The morning was
late today. It took me 45 minutes to get up from the couch to the shower. The
ride to school was slow. I have to rush to make the road crossing the Curepe.
Thankfully, I made it to the side of the bus route. The woman police officer had
caused a big line of traffic, and people were not being allowed to get on. A
man on the road told her, "Like you're goin' mad!" And she walked
passed by and said, "Yeah! I'm goin' mad!" It took up time, but a
driver had stopped for me to get in.
There was also a
wait down at Sixth Avenue to cross the road. I saw "Fine Tie" walking
out late same time as me. It was strange last week to see the casual outfit.
Teachers were already in their classes. I got to my desk hearing Miss Dayna
angry again as if someone did something "stupid" to her. She and Mr
Charles, in their conversation about it, began to sing the "Blessing"
song and the Radica song too. I wish I weren't there to hear it, lolz.
Jess was early,
busy chatting with Mrs Libert. I think they were planning out the performances
for Carnival. It was nice to see Patty early after recess. I didn't see Mel or
Gloria in the morning yet. Maybe they were in class. I had enough time to
finish the entry for yesterday and begin this morning's entry. Jess gave me the
keys to go and take 1F down to the music room. Their behaviour was the issue.
She spoke about the project that was due three classes ago and then gave them
review questions to work out until the last ten minutes of class to correct
them. I left to get breakfast and then went to the office.
On this day, I
had some wait before I got to the computer. All afternoon, but starting from
sixth period all the way to after school, I took the time working on the
regularity and punctuality Excel document. I was able to stay long after school
and finish it. I knew if I went home hoping to work on it, that I would end up
doing nothing. This was exactly what happened last night. There were a few
interruptions by visitors, students to make copies, and students to do exit
forms. The work was done on the individual portfolios concerning formulae and
getting the names of teachers in their appropriate places.
The fifteenth
profile down to the sixtieth profile was completed. The last thing to do before
leaving the office late that evening was to put the portfolios in numerical
order and save everything. It was great to have this accomplished at home. Also
at home, trying to have formulae for future changes of the names was the
challenge. I was thinking of asking Miss Ali for help when it did not work out
the three times of tried. I tried a fourth time and it worked out.
Two different
sets of work were required. Although I did not want to have two sets of heavy
work for the names, this fourth idea worked, and now the file was ready for use
and data archiving. I then spent more late hours into the morning checking the
document that Indera wrote with the numbers. All 60 profiles, all 12 months, 12
monthly summaries and all of the teachers' monthly tallies were checked. I knew
what I did when inserting the formula, but a doubting feeling came in big
again. Thankfully, they were all accurate and consistent with each other.
I was so happy about
this massive accomplishment. Lord bless this file that one day it will assist
the schools in the country. I remembered strongly about Indera mentioning that
she would not be in George's tomorrow.
