When Things get Tough the Tough eat Chocolate

§ Confessions of a chocolate-chomping teacher 


I never believed chocolate gives you pimples. 2015 is my year to prove it
Last September they sent me to teach in a mountain village: 54 km from home.
Since then, I've been commuting 4 times a week, sometimes 5.
The alarm clock at 5 am, insomnia, mountain roads with bends and curves, loud students, fatigue, temperature, hundreds of bucks on gasoline, fools overtaking you in tunnels or on a snowy bend, trucks slagging uphill at 30 km/h + rain, fog, cold, snow...
No.
No way.
No way I could have made it without chocolate and be here to tell the tale.
110 km driving per day
=
440 km driving per week
=
1,760 km driving per month
=
15,840 kilometers by car in a school year
