So, apparently, I haven't updated my blog in 5 weeks or so. That's how long I've been not living at my brother's house. 5 whole weeks...for some reason it seems a lot longer than that.
Anyhow, I'm not in a huge mood for updating, so I'll hit the highlights a la list de Joyce.
*There was a Polish girl staying at my house for almost a month. The novelty ran out after she was making no effort to go back to Poland even though her visa had run out and she was technically illegal. I don't really know how to explain what she is like. She definitely was one of those people who was using us to make her life easier while making our - my roommates and mine - lives harder. You'd expect someone to put forth extra effort to make up for the fact that you can't work in the country legally by cleaning the house, maybe even mowing the lawn once or twice. I mean, it's not like we were making her pay rent or for anything. idk. If someone is unable to work and has no way of making money and you're letting them eat your food, you'd expect that they'd repay you by doing chores or making the house look nice or doing something to make up for the fact that you can hardly feed yourself let alone another adult.
*As always, the papa-san is making troubles for all us kids. I don't think I'll divulge exactly what's going on, but rest assured, it totally sucks what he's doing and I hate that he's setting himself up for disaster.
*I still don't really like my job, but it's a job. I like being able to buy deodorant and shampoo.
*It's summertime!
*OH! I have a garden! I wish I had a functioning camera to post pictures. I've planted radishes, watermelon, pumpkin, zucchini, cucumbers, and carrots. I'm tres excited! They've all sprouted and now I just need to thin them out and hopefully I'll be able to reap the benefits thereof.
*My niece Ysabel is getting baptized the middle of July and I am so excited! Starting with my little brother's birth in 2001 all the way to my niece's birth in 2007, there has been a child born every year. So for the next 6 more years - including this year - I get to go to a baptism for one of my nieces. There's a 2 year break between my youngest niece and my baby nephew, but I think it's kinda cool!
Well, I believe that is all the highlights of the past 5 weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to post more during the summer...and hopefully I'll be doing something exciting!
