Parental responsibilities
I already feel like a parent. Having to discipline, teach and clean up after le fur kid... staying in and making sure he's okay on a friday night, ensuring he's got hot food and dog-proofing the house - all on a daily basis. It isn't easy having a puppy, much less for a family as unprepared as ours. I still think it was a horrible choice, but now that we have him, I can't bear to just give him away. The parentals have been at it for the past month now cos he's pretty high maintenance and it's been eating away on a lot of our personal time and energy (not to mention finances); always having to think of him before we plan our activities and shuffling dog-sitting duties amidst our crazy schedules. I've been a social hermit too - so much so I don't know how to explain to friends why I'm not out partying more often / meeting everyone more often. Something about my priorities just changed, and I don't feel like I need a social life to validate who / what I am.
Sigh, this entry is shit. My language's gone to the dogs (lol punny). The last book I read was in May, though after last night I think I'm gonna start picking up some of the ebooks again. Have yet to complete Rich Dad Poor Dad, but I'm set to finish it before 2013. Have a few business ideas sitting in my inbox and now's as good a time as any to put them into action. Still a little hesitant going into the business venture w Pres, and sis is starting a blogshop business (oversaturated market, but growing demand for online products?) so I'll be pretty occupied with the sideline projects. 'Cept for the distractions they serve for academia that is. Got a bad feeling I'll be repeating this year, but I think I'll take up part-time and pay off the rest of the fees myself. It hasn't been easy on everyone, with mum sick, dad working crazy OT hours putting sis and I through uni. I need to surround myself with positivity. People who are constantly motivated to push themselves further, people who are compelled to succeed in life... About time we all grew up from the petty teen drama stuff really.
