Another week where nothing happened!
This week is my father-in-law’s annual shradh. This is a ceremony we hold every year to propitiate and sate your ancestors. In my community, this is more strictly adhered to than other communities. Maybe I will do a post on this ritual one of these days.
It’s on to another week of hoping and praying all issues are resolved and things are happy!
Have a blessed week, people….
GG’s school issues are not yet over! On Tuesday she went to school to find out about her subject combinations for next year and she was told her old stream subject combination (there, she has pretty much gotten all the subjects she had asked for), but her form teacher also asked her to see the Math HOD who mentioned to her that she may have to do a coursework subject since that’s the option available with Pure History. GG categorically told the HOD said she didn’t want to do any coursework subject and wanted to do the subject she had opted for instead. The HOD took that into consideration and said she will try and work out something. GG also didn’t get her holiday homework for the new stream subjects. The HOD was supposed to call and speak to me to explain everything but has not yet done so.
On Friday, GG and I went to her school to see if we could speak to the HOD, but we found all the HODs were in a full-day meeting and we could not speak to them. So I decided to see if we could speak to her form teacher (who was not the one who gave her the subject combination on Tuesday) and after we explained the situation to him, he asked me to send him a message detailing the issue and he will try and help us. I’ve done that and the form teacher has said he has passed it to the relevant people who will get back to me, hopefully, tomorrow. We’re also going to both schools tomorrow to purchase the books and uniforms (for BB as he transitions to full-length pants in Sec 3)
I’m also going to see if we can meet the HOD tomorrow and resolve this now rather than later.
The same old week. There’s literally nothing to add to last week.
With the great week we had with regards to the children doing well in school and getting the subjects of their choice, I really wanted the week to end on a high with some good news on my job search front too. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Aah well, I’ll take what happiness I get!
I am hoping this week will have some positive news for me!
Have a wonderfully blessed week everyone!!
Contrary to what I thought, BB actually got the subjects of his choice! Right until the results were to be declared, we were thinking of all the other combinations he had chosen and all the permutations and combinations about the subjects he would be allocated. I rushed him and we kept refreshing the page.
The school released the results of all the children at the same time by pushing out their class allocations. The first class was the pure science class and as we scrolled down, we saw his name around halfway down the list (the order was alphabetical, with girls coming in first and then boys). We were thrilled and both of us literally started jumping up and down. On checking both his besties in this school are also in the same class! We are beyond thrilled. So BB will do 8 subjects excluding Physical Education and Character and Citizenship Education for his O levels.
We have to wait till Tuesday to see what class GG gets and whether she gets advanced math or not. She will do 7 subjects since she is not going to take Pure sciences. 2019 is going to be a Super hectic year in our household!
Happy Sunday folks!!
Nothing really happened this week, hence this delayed post.
I went for the first interview in ages and it was actually quite positive. It is an industry association which is just taking off and it’s a role I have done before. This is a STEM industry and that’s my biggest concern – the fact that I have zero qualification and experience in this industry. I have decided to be very upfront in interviews so I don’t get any surprises should I take up a position and this time also I shared this concern with the interviewer. Let’s see what happens, hopefully, it will be positive.
October has been a month where I was in a funk and didn’t feel like doing anything. I am glad the month is almost over and November is peeking in. I am hoping that the new month shows more promise than October!
Have a fabulous week everyone!
