(Another) One of Those Days

Woke up in good time.
Took a dexamethasone to keep nausea at bay (no nausea - yay!).
Get into the office - out comes the crown of a lower right molar (no nerves - no pain).
Period 1 - speak to yr 13 health class about my "journey with cancer". They gave me chocolates! ("Sir, you are an inspiration to us!" Wow...)
Period 2 - book in with dentist!
Morning break - dunkin' donuts with Learning Support Crew (and discussing politics). They gave me mandarins!
Period 3 - lesson with year 9s who keep being distracted by yr 12 Kings College being taught how to haka by O.C. yr 12s (yr 12 student exchange).
Period 4 - yr 13s whipped into a frenzied, panicked state as they realise performance assessments are nigh (oh well, dreams are for free!).
Tutors - go to 9S to receive formal apology from girl who verbally abused me last week, but she has disappeared! (which is another part of the tragedy...)
Return to 10T to crack funny joke I heard 20 years ago at O.C. from a year 10 English student called Moondog...
Q: How do you circumcise a whale?
A: Send down four skin (foreskin) divers!
Still cracks'em up - thank you Moondog, wherever you are! (34...)
Lunch - Supertwelve...er, 6 today (will we EVER have 12????).
P5 - yr 11s, becoming a favourite class of mine - we have a good laugh, do some good work and treat each other with due care and respect...most of these kids will be coming to the Marriage of Figaro with me on Tuesday!
After school - dash off to dentist - a great team at Onehunga Dental Centre - temporary filling installed.
AND NOW - we look forward to Fat Freddy's Drop at Bruce Mason Centre Takapuna, with friend Kerry (will need to celebrate Lois's dazzling 86% in Public Law TOMORROW).
Reviews to follow: Horseplay, Robin Hood and The Freddies Show....
