Well first and foremost, I'd like to say welcome to this Wednesday's blog about the brilliant events and unfortunate Shenanigans that occasionally happen at Wantirna College.
This week I told some of my fellow peers that this week's entry was to be a video blog. However, due to my inability to film things, and recent controversy and threats over last week's blog ("No Mr Churchward! Not Guantanamo!"), the first "Adventures of a Wantirna College student Vlog" will be released next week! This means today we will be discussing a different issue.
Today I was sick - I didn't go to school. Instead I spent the day at home sleeping and doing productive things. All-in-all it was probably a good move, as the chances I had no classes due to absent teachers was almost certain. As many of you have already noticed, the number of teacher absenses this week has skyrocketed! I have even heard reports that not only have the "every fortnight" teachers been away, but also the teachers of Steel have taken personal leave (notably, it was Mr. Beavis' first absense ever the other day! Congratulations!) Well sure, it's becoming winter and people tend to get things. But this many teachers?
That very thought made me wonder. Where are these teachers going? Are they in hiding from the Taliban after hearing about the recent deaths of Australians? Perhaps a vile of smallpox was mistakenly placed into a staffroom kettle? Or maybe some just woke up feeling slightly abnormal and thought it would be enough to get a doctor's certificate...
It seems as well that whenever teachers are absent from school, it's always the wrong ones. If Mr. Moschetti was away, there would be a feast bigger than Christmas that would happen in the senior centre! But as he is not a regular, that thought remains but a dream...
At this rate, school administration should probably change the absence list to an absence novel (and while they're at it, list it as a English text) if this is going to be the case all Winter!
Well let's just hope teachers can get that third arm amputated before mid-year exams!
