School, I am dissapoint.

Third day in school went well. It was also the third day I went on the bus alone. I never thought I would be able to do that in a thousand years! Some of you may be laughing, but it was a really big step for me. I never thought it was that easy and how much it has improved on the ease of going to school. The building of my school switched place, so it is essentially a longer trip there.

The school is nice… except for the four sets of stairs you have to take to get up to your own classroom. And for the fact that not much is functional. They promised us our own computers and card (which are needed everywhere in the building, when going to eat, entering a room) but they haven’t turned up yet. Why couldn’t they prepare for that? Our classroom doesn’t even have a clock yet. And then we have to wait horrendous amounts of time waiting to get a movie to show up on a screen. This is the school of the future? I think not. But it is a lot better than the old one. But the exterior… it looks even worse. There’s plates of some metal everywhere in random patterns and they’ve all rusted. Either they wanted that look or they made the wrong choice when picking which metal to use.

Also, one thing I was very deeply disappointed in was that all the meals for today weren’t gluten free. So, practically I just ate corn. (There was no pesto. I would have liked to try that.)

The reason for my disappointment isn’t the fact that there weren’t any meals that day. It’s the fact that one of the workers said that they’d have at least one meal gluten free every day. Well, that day there was salmon, but I don’t like fish, and she said it was probably fine for me to take some of the potatoes. Which looked like they had a lot of spices and what not on them, making me unsure of what had been used on them == making me insecure about even tasting them. I just took salad.

Next day I asked if they had anything gluten free, and the worker there said that it said on the papers on the entrance. There are always three meals every day, but there was two papers there and both meals had gluten in them. The gluten free dish was placed elsewhere with it’s paper, but it was some noodle-bean-hybrid. It looked disgusting… I took salad once again.

Three days of eating just salad and corn at school has made me very, very grumpy. I have myself to blame for not liking certain foods, but today just took the cake.

There were three papers as usual, 2 at one place and one at another. I checked all of them, gluten, gluten, gluten. The other one, which said goulash had the cross really crossed out, filling out the whole box. Usually they contain crosses if they contain lactose etc. but was this supposed to be a correction? I didn’t bother asking, as they’d surely return with “oh, sorry, there isn’t anything gluten free, too bad, lolol”. I felt hurt when I chewed down that cold corn. (Gosh, I can’t write anything that can be taken seriously.) Like they didn’t care. I wonder if they even received the papers I submitted? Is there really no one else in the school with gluten allergy? If it’s so, I now understand why.

This was a horrible rant, but I felt the need to vent out. Tomorrow’s the last day for the week, which was supposed to be a trip, but was canceled. Instead we’ll be playing some “games” and watching a movie. If the movie system then works, that is.
