Hello again!

I would like to start this post with that I am feeling so much better than I was last week so that put me in a good mood already. I had an overall great midterm week and I am clearly enjoying my fall break, (football, hot chocolate, and still in my pjs... Best day ever!).  Overall I have had a great week; my parents are being very understanding when it comes to my classes right now and are totally letting me finish all my class stuff before they start asking me to do stuff for them. One of the biggest problem that I have when being on vacation is that I have issues trying to keep myself on track so that when class starts back up I am not so behind.  However since I have always been this way and my sister understands this she really helps me through it. I didn’t really realize until now but she non verbally communicates with me to get me to do my homework. I noticed that when she would start doing her homework I would begin to feel motivated enough to start my homework for the week as well.  After noticing this I decided to reflect on how often this happens and I decided that I do homework more often when my sister is home doing her homework as well and I have never noticed that this is how it is. I tend to watch TV more when my sister isn’t around because when she is we focus each other to do our homework.  As well as helping each other with any assignment that we need assists from. After figuring out that this happened I started to reflect about how often we really help each other and I figured out that I ask her for help on my assignment way more often than I even ask my teachers for help. I guess this has developed because of the trust that we have for each other and I know that we understand how we each think so it makes getting through any assignment a lot easier. Over all everything in my house is going well and we are having a great week. I hope you are all having a great week as well.  Talk to you soon.

Hello Again! Well over all it was a pretty good week. I started to get a cold last week and it has been a pretty long week because of that.  Having a cold has caused slight problems throughout my house. I am a huge fixture in my house when it comes to things getting done and I do at times feel that I am taken advantage of because of how much I do around here without getting even a simple Thank You. However since I haven’t been able to do anything this week from trying to kick this cold I realized that my mom is rather dependent of me doing certain things around the house. I guess it just completely passed my mind how important my role is around the house. Another thing I  realized is  what a help I am to my sister because of me doing everything she has the ability to get all of her extra work done(she is signed up for 16 credits this years and I am only taking 11).  The biggest problem that arose this week was the fact that neither my mother nor my sister understood the fact I was sick. Well they did get that I had a cold and all but they thought that I could just keep doing everything I usually do while being sick. (I really don’t get sick that often, last time I was really sick was maybe 3 years ago). So when the house got messy my mom started to get angry that nothing was done and instead of helping out more she just made my week twice as bad. Afterwards however I discussed this issue with my mom and she now realized how much more I really do do around here and greatly appreciates it. So I guess the cold wasn’t a complete loss then. LOL well enjoy your week and have a great day!
