So I'm babysitting my 4 younger siblings this weekend while my parents are away and celebrating my dad's birthday. It's kinda nice, a little more responsibility as I had to drive kids to and from swimming and make sure we all got the housework done. My mom told me that she'd like to see a little more maturity from me, but I don't think she realizes how mature I am and how much I show it when I'm not at home. It's frustrating because it makes me feel like she can't trust me. But I realize that if I was a mother of an adult daughter who was living at home, I would probably say the same thing. I really do learn a lot from her, about life skills and how to run a household. She's got me trained for when I have my own family and house to take care of. So I'm my mother's daughter and I take after her in more ways than one, and I thank God for that. But I also thank God that I'm my own unique person.
Now if only I could stop procrastinating and get moving on my homework. According to my personal schedule, I'm behind, so I've gotta get moving and start painting (which is what my course is about). Sometimes it gets really annoying because I'm doing so much work for such a little subject. It takes me at least 6 hours total to complete an assignment. And it's not that I'm slow, it's that what's required in the assignments is so freakin' much! It's both awesome to paint and a burden at the same time. Oh well, I'm getting lazy this weekend having watched 3 movies with my siblings. I could have not watched one of the movies and plugged away at it. Tomorrow I'll get to it.
On a side note--well, not really a side note 'cause I think about it all the time--I'm so stoked for going to Japan! I have a new favourite Japanese rock boy band and I'm itchin' to buy their CD. I'm excited to see my friend, see the sights, and practice my Japanese. すてきな！ 私は日本語をはなしのが下手だ！For those of you who don't know, I'm trying to say, "Fantastic! I suck at speaking English" or something along those lines. I'm leaving in a month, so my excitement is sky-rocketing. よし！
