School Day Woes

Well, the principal was supposed to call me yesterday to let me know what was going on this week.  Yesterday when I showed up one of the other English teachers told me another teacher was administering the tests.  She didn't know, however, if that was just for yesterday or if that was for the whole week.  The English tests are in three parts, spelling, grammar, and history and they are split up into three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  So, surprise, surprise, the principal did not call me yesterday.  Luckily, I don't have to be there early in the morning because I'd be pretty frustrated if I woke up at 6:00 AM or sometime unnecessarily.  As it is, I'm still wandering around my apartment before I can go run any errands that I was planning to do today after school.  I called the school and the secretary (a super nice lady) told me she didn't know but would ask and have the same English teacher call me back.  She sounded concerned that I didn't know so I trust her to pass along the question.  And luckily, she's passing along the question to the English teacher I consider my friend so I know she won't accidentally forget about me as it seems the principal did.  Understandable, because she's always running around doing a million things at school but still...a heads up would have been nice.  It's easy for me to overlook all these things though since everyone at the school is friendly and nice as opposed to my first school where everyone barely agnowledged me when I said buenos dias and if I had called like I did today and said hi, this is Maggie, I would have gotten a dead line of confusion rather than an hola!    It's the little things...
