update
Well, since I'm updating everything I suppose it wouldn't hurt to put a new blog in here. Nothing terribly exciting is going on. I'm in class 16 hours a week, at work 25 and then I always have a nice mountain of homework to ignore. I'm working so hard and I'm so tired. Thanksgiving and winter break are soon and so I'm really excited to go home. But my sister is being selfish and mean again and so there's about to be another big fight in my family which I no doubt will get to sort through. It's my one chance to go home and relax and it's already being marred. My sister originally wanted to bring her boyfriend to Thanksgiving, which was a no for me and my mom for 2 reasons. 1) We don't like him that much, don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy. But the first time I ever spoke with him was when he drunk-dialed me. Didn't go over too hot. AND my sister is really weird and cutsey and fake when he's around, like she's trying really hard to be what he thinks she is. The second reason is 2) the holidays are a chance for me and my family to cut back and finally relax. My family consists of me, my mom and my sister. So we're little but we still value our quality time. Don't get me wrong, my sister stresses me out anyway but I guarantee that if she brings someone, I'll be in an awful place. During the holidays I like to wear my pj's 24-7 watch way too much TV, catch up on books and movies, be a dork, not comb my hair and just all around let down my guard. I can't do that if he's here and she refuses to understand why.
So the original plan was that her bf didn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving and so we compromised and said that we wouldn't be hurt if she stayed with him for Thanksgiving but I tried to make it very clear that Christmas was a different story and that I expected her home then. So it was good, she felt better and I did too. Then she called about a week later.
The new plan is that she is going to come hom for Thanksgiving, alone, and then she WON'T be there for Christmas because she's flying up to Alaska to be with his Mom. So me and my mom can just push back Christmas a couple days, no big deal. She told me all this and I finally realized that she didn't want my opinion of feedback on what she was doing. She was just basically letting me know. She actually said "No matter what Mom says, I'm gonna do what I want. If she gets mad, that's too bad it's not gonna stop me." (I paraphrase). She's just going at it with a horrible attitude and now it's making it hard for me to get excited for the holidays. Except I know that me and my mom will have fun even without my sister. She's high maintenance and I really can only spend 2 or 3 days with her at a time.
I didn't mean to go on like that. I guess it was time to get it out. Ciao.
