i talked to my mom yesterday and it actually went pretty well. she said my little brother is crawling and starting to talk. so far he can only say mommy and a bunch of korean cuss words. i'm proud. she offered me a place to stay and a job cleaning her building from 11pm-4am for 10 bucks an hour; but made it very clean only for the summer. i might take her up on that despite the maximum suckiness. i guess we'll see.
