Have I been drugged with looney pills or have I actually gone insane? THAT is the question!

OK, so I finally made it. It's official I am a qualified secondary school teacher! I actually survived a year as a student teacher and by god did those kids put me through hell sometimes!

Unfortunately or fortunately that has yet to be decided, I have not let the kids scare me off just yet and so I have embarked on what will probably be a very interesting, hair pulling (almost get arrested for wanting to batter kids - just joking :) ) year.

I mean how the hell did that happen? What have I done? Have I gone completely insane or has someone slipped me some kind of drug a couple of years ago that has yet to wear off, but will suddenly wear off at that really inopportune moment just as I'm bollocking some kid for what ever stupidity they have decided to commit that day and realise that I have actually turned in to my mother and go screaming from the building!!!

But hey we can all dream, fortunately for me I actually think its the former - I have gone completely insane :).

The first month hasn't been too bad. The first week apparently was typical - aka the honeymoon period. Which is when the kids weigh you up and decide if you are an easy target or if they will actually have to work in this lesson and therefore attempt to lure you into a false sense of security. It's a little like a pack of wolves who decide to roll over and play with their tales instead of attacking, but are secretly just waiting AND hoping for you to make one small tiny mistake and then they will jump on you like the killers they really are and devour you!!! No seriously I am so not exaggerating!!

Thankfully, they haven't attacked me outright, yet! There have been several moments of squaring up where the kids have tried to push me to their limits, but have decided to retreat for safety while they plan their next form of attack. So as you can guess from this the honeymoon is well and truly over! But I won't go down without a fight!!!
