Health Matters

OK here's the deal, for this module of mine, Workbased Industry Learning, my team member and I have got to go out and inflict ourselves on a group of very unfortunate brats (I think they're year 10 kids but brats all the same). But that's not the worse part, we've got to supervise them on their project of adolescent health, now that, is the worse part. I mean you know you're in trouble when you've got a business student giving you health tips (like ole' Sibu Angkau rousing me from an afternoon nap and asking me if Teflon is a plastic, which it is if anyone is interested). I mean I'm most certainly no paragon of virtue, I drink (a lot), I smoke (on occasion, and when I do I usually go through a pack) and I don't go to sleep early (not much of a choice in that matter, sleep tends to become very elusive once you enter uni). I do however try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible and to keep myself well hydrated. I mean the extent of my knowledge in adolescent health is to eat right, exercise right, don't drink, don't smoke and don't do drugs. So we've got a long overdue meet with the very elusive liaison from Boronia Heights High tomorrow (what a splendid way to spend my free day, like having your toilet back up while you're still sitting on it) where my team mate and I will grill the damn teacher for as much information as she can provide so that there won't be any spots in our report which we have to frakkin' hand up next Thursday. We will then meet those pesky kids on subsequent Friday's after the Easter holidays to supervise them on their work (and like that my free Friday just went up in smoke). All I can do now is hope to God that they that won't be an ill-disciplined and imbecilic rabble as their screw ups might be seen as my screw ups which would of course not do very much for my grades.

Aiya... there is nothing hurling objects in their faces and shouting "whole lot knock it down!" cannot fix.
