A day in the life of a Maltese teacher

A renegade rebel who writes poetry, plays the piano and is enthusiastic about photography. She leads a complicated life, mistrusts those around her and hopes to save enough money to buy a new Mazda. Equipped with a degree in Information Technology, Maria is currently teaching uncouth young boys in a state school until she finds the ideal job as a software developer. She recorded a diary for a day at school:

09:38 Eeeeeeeekkkk! Break in middle of corridor. Was stopped by a colleague from the other classroom. "Do you have key of room 11?" Oh shit. I had forgotten to hand the key in and the lecturer had spent a whole 8 minutes going around corridors and staffrooms looking for me in order to be able to start her class. Grrrrr! Apologizing profusely (actually just twice) I stormed off for my staffroom.

09:40 Bleh.. Switch on PC, check mail, reply to yet another couple questions about assignment which was to be handed in today.. Start having lunch while checking Google News. Yet more detail about the Tsunami disaster, more gadgets built, more criticism on politics, more speculation about M. Jackson.. The world lives on.

10:32 Oops! I have another lecture now right? Right. Hah. With the Tarzans. Let's hope they stay quiet today.

11:17 "Jekk m'inthomx se taghlqulu se nitfaghkom il-barra il-hamsa l-intkom!! Michael, aghlaq minn hemm" "Din ohti miss" "Michael ghidtlek ghalaq jew tmur barra, iddeciedi" "Ok miss".. Trust the boys to search online on anything (actually on one hottt topic in particular) BUT what they were requested to do. Men!
