THE DAIRY GAME// UNENDING SEASON 3// VERY BUSY DAY// 1st APRIL, 2021// BY @EXCEPTIONAL20

Life gives us 24 hours daily to invest with. How you invest determines what you harvest. Amb. John Joseph

woke up around 7:05am because I slept off marking my exam scripts. It's that time at the end of the term when red ink is use to decorate the students answer booklets, either to their success or failure.

I was so busy that I have to beat the deadline given to us by the agreement reached between the management and Parents at the PTA meeting held in January.

You can't believe it, that every paper written must be available after two days. And results must be ready before resumption. So everyone is busy not to fall victim. So I have to do same.

After my devotions, I stayed a little bit longer at home marking my scripts. At about 10:00am, I got ready to go to school.

When I got to school, I had to continue marking, I was able to finish marking my S. S 1 A-D. I recorded and uploaded my records to the school portal.

At 11:30am, we all gathered for a staff meeting, and a vital information was dished out, placing all staffs that were affected under stress to meet up the deadline. I said to myself, John you can do this. You have been wired to overcome.

I couldn't snap because I was busy with my phone uploading scores all through the meeting. After the meeting we rush back to our markings.

And at 3:05pm, I had to return back to the house to prepare myself for my journey back home for the Easter. But I had to rush to the bank to make some withdrawal and transfer. On getting there the bank has closed for the day.

What do we do? We needed money badly, and the next day is public holiday. Although, it's a microfinance bank owned by the owner of the school I teach. Thank God for the guys that went with me, they quickly made some contacts, and the man pleaded on our behalf and gave directives on how to attend to us.

We were very exhausted and tired, but the hope of getting something for the weekend and celebration put some little smiles on our faces.

Finally, our cash came to us and at this point, we all departed using our various routes. I took a vehicle going to Suleja, amidst the traffic, I still got home safe.

The first thing I did was to eat because I had not eaten anything since morning. After which I worked on my records uploading, then I chatted with my fiance before I went to bed.

Very busy and stressful day I had. Thanks for reading the dairy of a teacher.
