Today was my first day at my new school. It was a total disaster. There was orientation, where presumably you orientate yourself to the new environment where you are going to spend your next two years. But there was so much screaming, too much noise, so many new people, too many new places, it was impossible to orientate myself to anything. I don't see why they make such a big fuss of this, running around the compound doing stupid things. The whole time I was there I wished I was at home studying or expanding my leaf collection. The worst was the game 'whacko', where you have to call the name of people so that you don't get whacked. I couldn't tell what they were saying, it was so noisy. I tried asking whose name they just called out, but nobody seemed to like that. I don't see why not. I'm just trying to play the game. It got even worse when I got whacked and had to go to the centre and try to hit people. I couldn't tell what their voices were saying, and even if I could, I knew I was going to have a lot of trouble knowing who to go after. So I stared at the floor wondering what to do. People started coming round and asking things, I'm not quite sure what. And touching me, hugging me and patting me on the back. It was very, very uncomfortable. I didn't know what to do. I didn't mean to offend anybody, really. Especially not on my first day there. I'm not really sure what happened straight after that, it's all a bit blurry somehow. Only that I tried really hard to make myself invisible while trying to concentrate on the floor. And now I'm home. I guess I'll go to sleep tonight comforting myself with this story I found on the internet one day. I hope I sleep well though,I'm exhausted from all the big to-do.
The Square Hole A square peg, living in a world where all the pegs are round felt out of place in every place where rounded pegs abound.They filed away his angles, smoothed every edge; they made of him an ordinary, smoothly rounded peg. One day they saw a wondrous sight that terrified each soul for there before their eyes was an incredible SQUARE HOLE!! The pegs were all confused and lost; one wept on the floor. For nowhere in the world were square pegs any more.
