I had already written up a LONG entry but I accidently deleted it and now I'm too lazy to rewrite so I'll shorten it which is a good thing for you guys...
-Received a tablet.
-----Do not deserve it though. It's HUGE! 9x11, I think? $400! Money that we can't just use all willy-nilly...
-----In my defense, I asked for the smallest size and refurbished too. $80. Mom replies that if Dad spends tons of money on his religion than she's allowed to spend money however she wants it. Two wrongs don't make a right though...
-----I will not be enjoying Christmas, New Year(asian), or my birthday for a long time.
-Mother's going to Beauty School so that she's able to find work.
-----I will then be picking up my brothers Tues and Thurs.
-----I don't like that because kids at American walk in front of me while I'm driving.
----------They also stare at me since I'm totally short, young-looking, but am able to drive with passengers.
-----Mother is tired when she comes home.
----------Makes sad, tired face.
----------Dad does not like sad face so he warns of withholding money from her if that frown isn't upside-down. (I secretly think that Dad was going to keep money from us anyway regardless of how Mother looks.)
---------------It turns out that I may be correct since his family in VN wants to take a vacation... FOR A MONTH!!! IN A HOTEL!!! AND WILL BE EATING AT A RESTAURANT EVERYDAY!!!
--------------------I am angry because they barely work over there and they mooch off of Dad since he's the only one who is making a living in America.
-------------------------Also angry because his own family here has never been able to experience a vacation like that.
-I don't like Johnney very much anymore...
Him: May I borrow your tablet?
Me: No.
Him: Why?
Me: It's too valuable (and I don't trust you.)
Him: If I break it, my mom can just buy you a new one.
Me: Why should your money be wasted on a second one if I can just prevent any damage to this one?
Him: You can easily afford one in like a month with what we're paying you!
Me:...
Inner Me: DUDE! I DON'T WANT TO BUY ANOTHER ONE! IT'S ALREADY AN EXPENSE TO BUY THE FIRST ONE AND HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO BUY ANOTHER ONE WHEN YOU BROKE IT. DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT YOUR MOM WILL PAY FOR IT?!
------Some time later------
Me: *Playing with my new toy*
Him: If I become a great artist, will you let me use it?
Me: IF you become a great artist...
Him: I'm already a great artist.
Me: ...
Him: Will you teach me how to draw?
Me: No. (I had already shown him some websites that teaches you how to draw and tutoring him was already sucking up my daily time.)
Him: MY MOM IS PAYING YOU TO TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW.
Me: ...! Your mom is only paying me to tutor you in Math and English.
Him: Why is it such a big deal if I use it to just draw a little line?
Me: *ignores and plays with toy*
Inner Me: IF IT'S SUCH A BIG DEAL, THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT SUCH A BIG DEAL?
He then pestered my mom when she was tired to let him go to the park with us (when everyone was busy with their work and thus nobody wanted to go.) She said no and he ACTUALLY GROANED EVERY SECOND! It was annoying. Lately he's been groaning everytime I call him to correct him on his homework. It's like he wants to make sure that I know that he hates it. WELL IT'S NOT LIKE I WANTED TO DO IT! He only wants to play with us at our house but we're busy. One time he actually came over with no work for me to do and he just annoyed the hell outta the whole house.
When he started to realize that our house is boring, he stopped doing his work and asked to go home after FAKING to do work. I totally stopped him from going and asked if he had homework. He said that he could "correct" himself since the answers are in the back of the book. BS! If he could correct himself then he wouldn't need me. I asked him to let me see it and he's like, "Oh, I forgot to do some of the problems so you'll have to wait" I BET YOU TOTALLY DID NOT DO ANYTHING! Lucky I stopped him, he couldn't figure out most of them and when I show him the right way, he doesn't even pay attention. He just waits for me to give him the answer so I gave him a clue and left him to figure stuff out. He just sat there. Grr... If he wants me to take his money without tutoring him then I would gladly do it but his parents are so nice that I stop myself. Pfft.
- Past half month I have driven...
----- In a fog
----- To the side to let an ambulance past
----- And killed my car battery, asked people for help but got none
----- With people younger than me
I'm proud of myself...
