Sunt dezamagit, dar trebuia sa stiu mai devreme

My school's computer lab came today, but not as it had been promised in October. Instead of a 10-computer classroom full of modern machines to replace our school's current ones from 1997, my school received a single computer, which they placed in the secretary's office.

I should have known better than to believe a document from this government.

Nobody may ever know what happened to the money and computers that were promised to my school. What disappoints me the most is not the fact that we didn't get what was promised to us, but the reaction of my school's principal and vice-principal.

"It's not what we were told was coming, but it's one and we're thankful for what we received," the vice-principal said. The principal had a similar opinion. I seemed to be the only one in the room of four people even closed to outraged.

"The county has a problem with finances," the principal said.

"The county has a problem with lying," I countered.

It's a disappointing day for me, but honestly, I was half-expecting it. October had been the first time in over a year of living in Mereseni that I had heard of the federal or county government helping my village in any way. Now that I know it was a lie, it all makes sense.
