Wednesday, first day back at school: Stress and tightly strung nerves = searching desperately for lesson ideas from 8am-11.
11.30 start crying.
12pm decide to skip lunch.
1pm more teachers cry at having to come back to school. v.depressed.
2pm teach grade 9, making travel posters saying Sawubona in South African with Japanese Sumo dancing underneath (no this was not meant to happen. We occasionally get confused in a class that travels as quickly across the world as mine does)
3pm teach grade 7 girls. rapidly descends into gossip session about who has a boyfriend and which celebrities are hot right now. Girls very surprised such an old and obviously fashion-challanged teacher had boyfriend in past. they demand to know why am not married, clap hands excitedly and insist 'we should discuss this'. so cute, i'm utterly disarmed and end up showing bellyring (please god let none of them be telling parents at this very moment what we learnt in travel class today)
6pm leave school, starving from no breakfast or lunch. give gym a miss and head to fried rice place (heard the owner was asking bout me when Batch went up the other night) Owner and wife so nice, am wondering whether to give up job and ask to be adopted and spend year making rice.
