Dear Diary,
This morning was
a rush to get to school. At the WASA stop, there were two boys dressed as
Georgian's although I didn't see them in the school before. They took a long time
to walk down the road. The room was empty when I got in. It looked like Jess
was now coming in. She sent me a WhatsApp message asking for full assistance as
this week her preparations for the Carnival concert will begin from period six
to eight, and then on Thursday, she will be going to another school to judge
their show too. She met me at my desk to talk about what she sent. We will have
to see what topics she wants me to do with the children.
While there was
some time before class with 1F, I went to the art room. I got the Bristol Board
from Miss, and I got six envelopes ruled up and stapled. I ended up with the
Form 4s in the music room and waited all lunchtime for Jess to come back. Since
the children did not have the pansticks or scores for the practical, I decided
to do some theory with them. The hardest topic they had when I asked was
intervals.
I went through the
Grades 1 to 4 intervals with them. The Form 5 part will be their homework to explore.
It was nice that they understood it. A very interesting conversation came up
just as lunchtime came around. I also got to show them the different placements
of the C4 clef and introduce their names. My head was spinning and I felt like
falling. It took a long time for the children to move the pans out of the
steelpan room.
When I went back
to the staffroom, it had been a while since I had had any water. "GG"
told me while drinking the water that she was helping "Celia" with
the lateness and absences yesterday, and she liked the form that she was using.
She also added that she found it strange to be a Ministry document, since it
looked so neat. She said that while turning through the pages, she saw my DAPHA
Projects logo and realised that it was me who made it.
I took my stuff
and went to the office. I met "Choo Choo" out in the yard heading
over there. Rhea was making a joke with her about not getting any privileges or
getting any complimentary leave.
I went into the
office to get started. There were copies and other stuff to do. I got all the
copies done that evening and batched them off. I got the CXC label for Mel
printed and handed it to her in the art building. The only problem was that
2024 was accidentally left on it. I will have to change it sometime.
"Celia" met me by the staffroom door afterwards. She said that she
was looking for the Teachers' Punctuality and Regularity Excel file that she
was using. She couldn't find it. Back in the office, she came after a while and
was looking for it.
After a long
while, too, we realised that in the updated file, she had not clicked save, and
some of her work was missing from the Excel file. Instead of all that, I
invited her over to the computer where I plugged in all the numbers of late
minutes, and she got to see how my Excel would work. She got all of the marks
tallied to put in her form. We got a lot of starting progress done. We worked
on the entries for November 2024.
At 5:30, Patty
had to go, and I got a ride up with her. There was some good music playing on
the ride home. She mentioned that there was a tech committee that I could
always share the instructions on operating the file, so they will know what to
do when I leave. As soon as I got home, I ate and then went to see about the
"Dark Wars" zombie game. After three weeks, I am at a Level 14
stronghold. I did some painting and then went to the computer at 9 PM to work
on the remainder of November 2024. I also got started in October 2024. The time
immediately got to 12:39 AM, and I had to call the end of a night immediately.
