Why, oh why do I always have to be the responsible one? I guess I could be irresponsible if I wanted to, I am sometimes irresponsible- but not in front of my parents. But I constantly feel the need to put on the responsible act for my parents because they’re always stressing out about my sister and her irresponsibility; a.k.a all the going out too much, “bad” grades, arguing with parents, frittering away with laptop disease etc.

What do I mean by the responsible act? On a day where my sister is being particularly difficult about doing homework or something (maths especially; which my mum is always nagging her to do) I get out my homework and start doing it. This isn’t particularly helpful I realise, now that I think about it, because it makes my sister look even worse, but it may possibly help ease the “pain” of my ever-worrying mum. TT”      (My dad just tries to keep out of it, I don’t blame him).

However, it MOST LIKELY worsens the problem. I mean, making the contrast between me and my sister bigger isn’t going to help at all- but I can’t just go around acting irresponsible so that my sister’s “image” with my parents isn’t completely ruined. If it isn’t already.

She has no idea how big the problem is.

If she would just be responsible again. Then I wouldn’t have to listen to my mum’s constant nagging of me to teach my sister Maths homework (concepts which my sister will never ATTEMPT to understand) or my mum’s complaining of how tired she is with my sister’s attitude as well as how worried she is.

I really try to be as patient as possible, listening to the complaints- secretly clenching my fists so that I don’t completely lose it. But a person can only stand so much. Now I know how others feel… well, one person in particular.

Don’t people know when to stop?  Sometimes they take the joke too far, especially when they’re always over-annoying at first anyway. OK, I could stand about three lessons of it, but now I am going to go completely psycho on that person (not really, I wish i could though).

GRR.

A few teachers who I have encountered throughout high school extremely annoy me with their habits; it’s just little things can make you grimace and dread going to class.

1. I have this tutor teacher who’s pretty nice, but one thing about her really irritates me: at least five times every lesson, she uses the “anyways”. I haven’t mis-typed or anything. ANYWAYS. I know that a lot of people do use it– but a TEACHER?!?!
   
2. Also, about a year ago I had student teacher (very lost things aren’t they?) at school for English and she kept using the word YOUSE ( pronoused “use”) while meaning to say “you”; referring to the class/ the students. My friend and I would cringe every time she used it. What kind of English teacher says: “YOUSE”???

I’ve been whining a  lot today, but sorry.. my life isn’t all that wonderful at the moment~

I really need to vent right now because my mum is trying to use the computer again and it is really driving me crazy. What makes it even worse is that computer is old (2002) and this makes it unimaginably slow. This makes the teaching a thousand times more irritating. Just when I really started to think that she had the hang of it (well enough not to ask me every five seconds; the comp.’s in my room, I have my laptop thank god) she just wrecks it by asking another question!!!

I guess it isn’t really her fault. I just happen to have a short temper as well.

OK, enough rage right now. I’ll end on a better note-Have I mentioned that gerberas are really pretty? :]
