So it's been less than 48 hours and I've already leapt over my first proverbial hurdle! Today I happily strolled into the staffroom at lunch time only to be confronted by something horrific...in fact.. MONSTEROUS...
It went something like this:
I had just finished eating my celery whilst on yard duty and was making my way back to the staffroom. I had lost all feeling in my extremities and I was hurrying in anticipation of being reunited with the aforementioned feelings - and also of having an adult conversation.
(As opposed to the following which I had, only moments earlier, had with a student:
Jason: Miss, Trent called me a 'drama-fag'
Me: Trent, can you not use that word, it's extremely offensive
Student B: But he called me a dickhead!
....it continued around in circles, as I'm sure you can imagine...)
BACK TO THE STORY
As the staffroom door opened, my body warmed instantly thanks to the heaters, but straight away I realised something was happening that I hadn't mentally prepared myself for. Not at all. There was an aroma in the air that engulfed my lungs, tingled my nostrils, and viciously raped my tastebuds till my mouth was drowning in non-consensual saliva...
The students from the cooking class had decided to whip up fresh mushroom & asparagus soup and fresh homemade pizzas, bases and all, for all of their favourite teachers. There was literally a plate and a cup with my name on it...
Imagine if you will, a small pizza instantly sprouting mini muscley legs, and small yet masculine arms that bear a sword and a shield...
Imagine then, that this knighted pizza jumps up and stabs me right in the heart. Twice. That's what I imagined. And that's what it felt like.
Awkward for the other staff, seeing my obviously outrageous reaction to what would have appeared to them as ordinary pizzas.

Till next time...

I was glad to see that no one had left me a pizza!
